I'm guessing you're missing the battery hold down clamp located on the inboard edge of the battery hidden under the spare tire. You'll need a 13mm wrench to loosen the bolt that's securing the clamp. Also don't forget the vent-tube...

No .

No tube for the optima .
Thats one big reason to buy the optima , no acid to spill or vent overboard .
I just put a optima in the 964 , happy happy joy joy .
I just bought on ebay another optima for the vw van , the D31t .
