I've just replaced the ailing battery in my 54-plate GenIV and the hold-down clamp that keeps the battery located is badly corroded and needs replacing. I'm nowhere near a Subaru dealer to get an OEM part, but I'm sure there must be alloy ones I can buy online. It's the standard 005 battery, which I think is the same one used by Impreza of the same vintage, so the same battery clamp - any suggestions what to go for? Anyone who's replaced theirs, what did you use?
