So, I have dual factory batt trays in my 72! I have been "absent" for a while and I'm looking for a solid solution to securing my two Optima RedTops to their trays. Currently I'm only using the "floor clamp" I use to use those janky J hooks, and they held the batts in place when I tipped over my K5, but I'm looking for a more modern solution...?? Ideas? Commets?

I used a ruffstuff battery bracket bolted down to the stock tray on my friends 72.
 
Well I found a solution that seems to be solid! Zero wiggle. I found these Alum-Alloy hold down tops on the big A fer $13.50 ish each. add another 6 bucks fer some fresh J hooks. Each J hook has a hole in the batt tray to secure it in place. Me Like!!!
