Some years back I also wanted a correct Group 60 battery so I purchased a Willard-labeled lead/acid Group 60 from one of the boutique battery makers. End result - expensive, looked perfect and failed after about 2 years. Bought a second one, same result. If I wanted again to pursue the correct appearance of a Group 60, I'd probably go for the gel battery concealed in a faux Group 60 dummy case. But it's no longer that important to me so I'm just using a NAPA Group 64. I'm still using an original hold-down and if no one else comes along with a photo, I could remove it from the car and take a couple of photos. But it wouldn't surprise me in you were able to find an OEM one at Kanters.

PS - looking at JW's photo in the following post, that hold-down appears to be a correct OEM type.
