Minimum of 2 3/8" fasteners to secure the battery. Can't just stick a box in there with some screws, sit the battery in it and call it a day. If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I don't have to worry about anything laying on the battery and getting acid on it since its a street car. I know the right rear is best but my cable was not long enough to reach the passenger side. So I just put it on the R/R side for now. Does not seem to be a problem as the car hooks fine. Ron
