Does any one have a 65 or 66 with the original battery hold down?

If so would you be kind enough to post a picture or two showing what it looks like and how it attaches to the battery box.

Thank you,

It is a wedge that squeezes the battery against the tab at bottom of battery.  The wedge goes on back of tray.  Here is a picture of battery in place without hold down, note threaded female receptacle.  Next picture is with battery out and hold down installed ready to accept a battery.  This is from a 67 Cadillac, but it same as a 66 I worked on but did not photograph.  65 Should be same/similar.  Willington CAD in CT sells them for good prices if interested.
