Battery hold down 700

The hold down bolt in my 91 745T w/170k miles was rusted solid & despite repeated apps of PBlaster, it snapped with the first half-turn. Any ideas on how to fit a replacement or an alternatve to the factory hold down? Thanks.

Buy a universal battery tray that's plastic and bolt that on. It'll use J-bolts for a tie down, so no longer would you have to use batteries with the ears.
