Does someone have a picture they can put up showing how they securely mounted a normal battery to the M1008 battery trays? I've got the original tie downs, but I can't seem to figure out how to make it work. For one thing, the battery is short relative to the mounting hardware. The studs run out of thread before the battery can be tightened down, and the extra supports on the fender are quite a bit too high. It also seems like the battery is wobbly against the tray for some reason, like the tray is not really flat and the battery is straddling a ridge or something. I've resorted to bungee cords for now, but I'd really prefer to have something more stable. My best idea right now is to cut some pieces of plywood the size of the tray to raise the battery up to where it needs to be. If someone has a better idea though, I'd love to hear it.
