91-92 vs 93+ battery tie down

[GGawaran]

Well I went to install the parts that came in from amayama and it has come to my attention that the 91-92 tiedown is a different part number.... is there a difference in the lengths?

Parts I ordered

Tie down: 31512-SL0-010
Setting Bolts: 31513-SL4-000

Ultimately my fault for not triple checking but yeah can someone verify this for me?

Thanks in advance

Was able to get it to work, not sure if there is a length difference but I just had to re-position the battery a bit before i could get it to mount.

Make sure the battery bar is mounted correctly. There were some manuals showing it backwards, which is a risk for shorting. Check out the pictures here:

Newbie here, but shocked to see that the positive battery terminal is almost touching the steel battery hold-down. Really bad idea.

Is there a common mod to correct this?

Thanks.

Note there were 3 OEM battery options. Group 35 (40lb) for MT. Group 24F (47 lb) for Autos, but some folks switch to that for their MT NSX's for better cold weather starting, especially in cold climates. Zanardi used Group 51R (CRV) ~30 lbs. When my battery went, Anti-gravity ATX-30 (6 lbs!) and it spins the starter like a banshee! It needs a manual shut-off or a trickle charger if it's going to sit more than a month or so, but that would be a good idea with a lead-acid battery as well.

Yeah I have it installed with the indention on right side.

And thanks for the battery options.. I was looking all over the forums when I was waiting for the battery tie down to come in
