One is the problems with most of the batteries out there today is the molded pieces on the side of them for the carry handles. So the rectangular packard hold-down doesn't fit correctly. I ended up taking the battery hold down with me and went to several different part stores trying to find a battery that would both fit, and the terminals were in the correct orientation. I finally found a die-hard battery in the automotive section of a K-Mart that was a perfect fit for the '54 battery hold down.

When I got the car it had a much smaller battery sitting in the tray with a bungee cord holding it in place.
