Hello, Whats the proper way to secure the battery in an '89 328. Mine seems to be jsut sitting there not held in plce by anything. Thanks.
The battery in my '78 308GTS seemed a little unsafe with the factory single screw down plate. Not all batteries have an indent groove or a ridge built into the battery case for the screw down plate to take hold of. My solution was to take a sturdy belt and shortened the length to fit neatly under the metal factory battery tray. I took a leather punch and cut new holes for the belt buckle to secure a snug but neat fit. Now, when navigating those exciting North Cascade Mountain roads I don't have to be distracted by thoughts of my battery bouncing from side to side. The Pacific Northwest and B.C. in particular have some wonderful roads to exercise your Ferrari.
My 86 328 GTB has a screw-down plate but as the last respondent mentioned it isn't necessarily the most effective way to secure the battery although I have not yet had a problem. I like his idea, essentially a belt around the bottom plate and battery...simple, effective, and safe!
