GT2544 battery strap?
 

I got this big fat rubber band that is identified as the battery holddown strap. Anybody know how this doofungus is supposed to be attached? The parts diagram is no help, just shows the big rubber band suspended above the battery. No idea what it connects to or how.

If memory serves correct it anchors above and behind centre of battery , then pull across top of battery and down front between battery and engine and hooks over a lip on bottom front of battery tray
That is what the square piece is for to hook over the lip

Good God Gertie, I finally got it on. My, what a genius idea, a big fat rubber band stretched to it's limits to hold a battery in place! I wanna meet the guy who thought that was a good idea. :bash:

The top and bottom hooks are only about an inch or so in from the left (driver's) side of the battery. There's no possible way to get it on without removing the side panel.
