Default Battery clamp installation?

My 66 Mustang's battery was not clamp down when I purchased it so I purchased a battery Hold down clamp Part # C5DZ-10718-A but I just dont get how it sits? Does any one have a picture of how this should look after it's installed? Thanks in advance.

If you have the bottom tray type C5ZZ-10732-C, the part you have bolts to the bottom, holding the part of the battery that sticks out, or a lip so to speak. If your battery doesn’t have a lip in the bottom that that part will not work.
You will need to have the other type and C5AZ-10718-A with the “J†Hooks.
I got tired of not finding Group 27 SERIES Batteries with the lip on the bottom, so I relocated mine to the trunk and got a modern Gel Cell.
I hope this helps.

Thanks that is the problem my Sears diehard does not have a lip. I was thinking about replacing it any way.

Thanks for the input.
