Miata battery hold down

[pitbull113]

Putting the finishing touches on the '94 Miata and as I'm making brackets to hold down the battery the stock bracket that is above the battery is in the way. I could probably work around it but cutting it out would simplify things. Legal or not says the IT crowd? TIA

I would say yes. The good book says the battery must be mounted securely therefore, in my interpretation, it is legal to replace the stock mount.

I had to modify my mount as the battery hold down is pretty weak. I had the battery slide over and and shut the car down through a couple left handers until it arced enough metal away.

I cut it out and finished the install today. Thanks for the responses
