Yep, the original one just needs a single bolt in the centre of the battery. To fit that one, you'll need to hack some extra holes in the inner wing.

As said, what's up with the original? If it's missing, just get someone to send you one from a breaker. :y

I have the same problem. Still got the plate fortunately. The M8 bolt snapped. I plan to drill and tap it out. Should be easy enough to make a clamp plate with a piece of spare steel and a hacksaw?
