Mark Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 This is the second battery installed in my 1996 discovery. It uses exactly the same clamping mechanism as the factory one just mirrored - J shaped bots and a bar across the corner of the battery. hope that helps Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my 1996 300tdi (standard fitment) and pretty solid too! I've seen the clamps here (click) will just need the rods. ATB, PN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boro Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Cheers guys, paul i found the bracket for across the top in the boot when i bought it and carefully stashed it away, the threaded rod nearest the front panel was in place but the other was not so i made one, is the top of the bracket straight in that pic or curved just on mine with it straight the stepped section at either end doesnt seat on the battery, may see if i can fiddle it a bit to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
