Will the Odyssey battery fit without the bracket if....

[liftcontrol]

instead of drilling holes and installing the bracket one were to simply use a couple of blocks of wood or hard plastic blocks to raise the smaller battery and to support it on the sides within the plastic battery holder of the original battery. I think this will be a great deal easier to do than buying and installing a bracket.

Has anyone done this? Any potential problems with this?
TIA

Liftcontrol,

I installed the Odyssey a little while ago but I did use the bracket that Dali Racing sells for it. The story can be found here http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20472

I thought about using something like you suggested but it would amount to having something light like a wooden block below and something heavy (battery) on top. And this would then have to be fixed with the standard battery bracket as not absolutely not move under heavy G-loads from acceleration, bumps, hard braking, vibration etc. etc.
My thoughts were, if you want you could do it with some wood. Or you could just shorten the bracket-rods (so you could just put the battery on the battery holder) but it just didn't seem the right thing to do (my opinion only of course).
