So the drop-in fit wasn't exactly true. I ended up fabbing my own battery tie-down out of aluminum T-channel because the Braille one was not going to work with the battery mounted in the stock orientation. I knocked this together in about an hour, and it is way overkill for the job. But, much like Industrial's solution, if you grab the tiedown or the battery and try to shake it, the whole car moves.

I'm going to make a couple of revisions to this to simplify it, make it lighter, and also Plasti-dip it for additional safety.

End result though, I was able to use the factory j-hooks, and battery terminals.
