For those of you like me who have been looking forever for the correct style Battery Hold Down Clamp there is a pretty good solution. No More Bungee Cord!!!
The Clamp for a 1970-1981 Trans-Am is very similar. It has the loop on one end to accept the vertical bolt, and the 90 degree bend on the other end that slides into the radiator support bracket. One modification is necessary. The 90 degree bend is in the wrong direction, so you need to weld a 1/4 inch dia. rod (about 3-inches long) going in the opposite direction on top of the existing rod (or you could try heating and bending it, but I opted for the easy weld).
Worked great, and they even has the black rubber coating. Got mine from The Parts Place.
