The stock bracket is in use, wedging the battery in place. I view this as a stopgap measure.

Someone suggested a Lynx #00203 bracket. The Autozone guys never heard of it (although they do stock Lynx parts). Google isn't my friend today. :-(

Any thoughts?

TIA.

I found the part number here (from 00 S4's and some A4's). Reuse the existing bolt, and put the new bracket on the other hole in the battery tray (push the battery as far toward the driver as it will go, then look on the tray on the pass side of the battery, and you'll see the threaded hole.

Is that the Audi part you're talking about?

Someone else mentioned a Lynx aftermarket part (#00203), but the Autozone dealer didn't have it and hadn't heard of it.

Thanks for the tip.

Lynx clamp is available at Advance Auto parts and that 8D0 part can be had at VW dealers.

That is the part that I purchased throught my VW dealer and is installed in my B5 Passat that came from the factory with the shorter battery. The Group 48 Johnson Controls battery aka MTP-91 fits perfectly with that clamp!
