Default Battery tie down

My new sc300 was fitted with a GM side post battery and tied down with a bungee cord. needless to say i want to make this the correct battery and need the correct tiedown. I did some good searching but places were wanting $60 for a tiedown that said grimmspeed on it. What's a good site that usually has good deals on things like this?

Try this but they are a "dealer".... (if you really want it "restored"...)

Autozone sells a kit for cheap. First thing I did to my old/retired SC. The battery would bounce around and the connection would come lose causing the car to stutter, and even some times shut off completely while driving. Definitely fix this.

I think i'm going to go for autozone. 77 bucks just for a battery tie down is out of hand!

Maybe i might weld one up...
