[QUOTE="Lil Poot, post: 3472769, member: 561892"] its an optima yellow top, gel battery. doesn't really need ventilation, but there will be some air moving back there anyway. as for bending the pieces of metal, thats kind of what i was thinking. we have those at work, just that they seem a bit flimsy to be securing a 70+ lb battery through a potential crash. they aren't an inch wide, i'd say 2/3 to 3/4 inch wide. and about 1/8th thick. they also aren't long enough to get all the way around the battery, so i'd have to secure 2 of them together. the good thing is that the big yellow tops have notches all the way around the battery that stick out about a half inch, and are around an inch wide, so that will help keep it from moving if i get the securing straps in between those.
