BATTERY HOLD-DOWN COMPONENTS, TR250, TR6
"Original Components Secure Your Battery to Prevent Sparking
and Spilled Acid..."
At any club show that I attend, where there is an autocross or any form of
racing, a number of cars fail to pass the tech inspection because the batteries are
not properly secured. What is safe for racing is also safe for the road. You just
don't want your battery shifting in its box on hard cornering or hard braking,
possibly breaking wiring connections, sparking, or spilling acid. Triumph
provided the cars with proper battery hold-downs, and we are listing them here. If
you are missing components, here is a good chance to purchase them for a couple
of bucks. Note that I have omitted the hold
-
downs for the small battery which
was original equipment in very late TR6 models, as I doubt that anyone replaces
the small battery with a small battery. Otherwise, the hold-downs listed are good
for most any battery.
Note that the early and
late hold-down kits are
interchangeable. The
design of the steel
angle was changed,
apparently at the
beginning of 1972.
