Tstango-
The problem is the terminal position. Even if its mounted upright, the + and - cables will not reach. If you spin it around, they still wont reach because now the + and - posts are on the "wrong side."
That is why I flipped mine on its side. I used the stock hold down, with just a bit of modifying, and its holding tight.

Just connect it up, clip the spacer ON TOP then the stock clamp works just fine.

BTW, I was told we needed the Orange Top for our trucks...eg. the posts are reversed.

Using the spacer on top of the battery sounds like an excellent idea, by the way
