1965 Imperial battery hold down

[1965 LeBaron]

What is the correct battery hold down bracket for 1965 imperial? Does anyone have photos? The one in my car does not seem correct

Chrysler used two types of crossbars. One straight. One zig-zag or offset. Depended upon the orientation of the hold-down J-studs to each other. Obvioiusly, with the studs right across from each other, that would be the "straight bar" type. If the holes for the studs were offset, the "zig-zap" crossbar was used. Both styles are in repro, if that matters in your case.

VERY nice car!

That paint does not look correct either. Nice, but Way too Glossy.

As I recall, there was a black, shiny neoprene coating on the crossbars, which was shinier that normal paint. At the ends, especially, but also could extend into the middle of them.
