Default Loose battery

I don't like the way my battery sits in it's little cubby behind my seat. Do they make, like, a box or something, that I can screw into that cubby, to have it more secure? Right now, it has two brackets that attach to the floor, and clamp down via a brace across the top of the battery.

Is it just the fact that its loose, or is it rattleing or making some other noise?

The proper battery size and configuration used with the two bolted hold-down brackets at the base of the battery will completely restrain it. Check your A.I.M. if in doubt about the stock configuration.

I plan on doing some mild racing. I CAN hear it rattling, but my primary concern is to keep it pretty still while driving hard. The old hold downs seem like they are worn, at the point where they connect to the floor.
