Wow - cool sounding setup!
I don't have the answer to either question (well, I think the answer to #2 is nothing and to #1 is a metal bracket with a catch which "flips" over, a bit like the top on an old-school bottle like your grandparents used to fill with home-made cider. My question is as to what people use as an alternative (mine (a single) is sorta wedged in there by the jack against the spare tyre - hardly ideal). I don't have the strap and I am missing at least one of the brackets on the body. Cam

Here is a picture of the '73 tie down, I think it is the same:
 There is a thick rubber strip between bumper and fender, sorry no pictures.

When I did my RS clone way back when(this was in the early 70s) I either used the existing stock rubber pads or nothing at all between the f/g and steel.
Your car will be set up like mine

Joe,
Those are sealed batteries. Not sure you can put them in like that but if you could he would know as he sells them! Check out Chucks website... they are also a lot lighter than normal as well! JoeA

That's a dry cell and it can be mounted on its side like that, no fluid to leak!
