I could not install the cantilevered flat metal bar which
holds the battery in place in my 1984 Vanagon.  The previous
battery was an Autobahn, and I remember having difficulty
installing it.  The new battery is from Canadian Tire and
measures almost the same, but I couldn't get the metal bar
in place.  Does anyone have any tricks to get it in?

Thanks,
