The first batch of hold down plates. The big holes are bolt and vent holes, the little holes are for the regulator stand-off posts.
A Mk2b Rudman Regulator mounted to my mounting plate/battery hold-down.
The underside of the mounting plate. The holes for the screws are countersunk so the bottom will be flat.
A view from the side. Those are nylon mounting posts from Norvac Electronics.
Here's the front battery shelf in my Karmann Ghia.
A closeup of one of the battery mounting spots. Those are T-nuts you can see through the holes in the centering discs.
Here comes an Orbital. See how the centering discs will fit right up into the spaces between the cells?
The battery settles down over the centering discs.
The reg, the mounting plate, and the two 8-inch bolts which will hold down the battery.
Here it is, all assembled.
A closeup view. The four unused holes in the plate are centered over the battery's vents.
