Could not find one that pleased me and did not like the '28 hold downs so took small angle iron and welded up one that fit the top of the battery good. Welded a support on each side made from a large thick washer to allow the bolts to go through. Then took a portion of a plastic oil can botton which was black and cut it so it fits over the post of the battery and covered the bracket before attaching the battery cable to the starter. Now there is no chance of a short.
