Where can I get the stock 1g battery hold down?

The person who owned my car previously didn't seem to know what he was doing. :mad: Basically, the battery in the car was the wrong size and wrong type. The terminals were on the wrong side and the way he got it to work was by removing and apparently throwing away the hold down bar and tilting the battery towards the positive and negative connections. Basically it sat in the little tub loose and tilted.

This weekend I went to Schucks and bought a new battery that actually fits and is correct. Problem is that I cannot find a hold down that will work! I was putting the battery in right outside of Schucks and was literally walking in, returing a hold down that didn't work, walking out with a new one, walking back in... rinse wash repeat. ;)

I looked at some engine bay pictures for the 1g and it looks like it was a 0---0 type thing. A bar with two loops, one of the loops attaches to a bolt on the strut top. Where do I get that thing? What do I use to connect it to the bottom of the battery where it sits?

I need to get this done before this Sunday as I'm going autocrossing for the first time. :cool:

Any help would be great!
 
Junkyard? Or you might try to find someone parting out a car on here in the classifieds or on E-Bay and send them a PM. Getting it by Sunday would probably be tough that way though. Have fun at the autocross that's something I've always wanted to do.
 
I ended up ordering it from MachV. It cost a bit to get it shipped here by this week, but I'm glad I got it now. I would, however, really like to smack the guy who owned my car before. :D
