My e30 hasnt got anything to secure the battery down in the battery tray. Ive got my first drift day next month and I think its a good idea to secure it! Does anyone have any pictures of what im missing, or maybe even have one they can sell me??

Might be a good idea to tell us which E30 you have / where the battery is.
These are sensations as hard to forget as they are to ignore.....

Sorry, didnt realise they varied. Its a 1990 318i m40 4 door, and battery is in the scuttle panel. Its a bit of a squeeze so it doesnt move around but nothing to stop it bouncing up and down etc

A secured battery is a legal requirement!
