Made battery tie down (pics)

Ok so obviously I have too much time on my hands. But that's ok cause I was able to make a battery tie down. I got some 6061 T6 from work and shaped it a little bit so it would fit. Not sure if I'm going to leave it bare or paint it MetalCast red like the rest of my engine parts.

Anyway, here is the pics, let me know what ya guys think.








Sorry for the bad pics, but this is with my phone.

Looks nice, but isnt the battery cover going to cover it up though? Or you don't rock the battery cover?

I took the battery cover off, so I can show off the Optima. lol. Plus I was going to just paint the original one, but I cant get all that rubber/plastic coating shit off. So I made this one. It's gotta be like 5-6 more hp's. So it's well worth it hahaha.

Hell yeah, that's a great idea. I don't know why I didn't think of that.
