Hi all.

Made this (small file size):

to hold down new aux battery. I'll also put a piece of wood between
battery end and box.

I "adjusted" with washers under bolt (arrow) so not too tight. But
since that's hard to gauge....

Is this a bad design? i.e. Puts undue pressure on battery case? Should
battery only be held down with some kind of clamp installed at bolt
hole (where bolt is shown in pic) and "lip" at side of battery?

My Westy didn't c/w any clamps on starter battery. Looks aux battery
would use same type. Just not sure what stock configuration should be.

Neil.
