Default 3dr Battery Clamp

How is the battery held in?

Do you have the Bar that goes over the top of the battery?

Or the side one, that clamps onto the base of the right of the battery?

I see alot of 3drs with no top clamp, but mine wont line up with the side clamp hole

There should be 2 bolt holes in the tray Ryan to allow for a slightly bigger battery to be fitted. I have swopped saff batterys for 3 door ones and never had a problem!
