90 N/A--No Battery Holdown 200

On a 1990 non-turbo, what does the battery hold-down look like? I bought the car used, and it has none. It has the non-metallic battery tray, with retainer fingers holding the bottom lip of the battery on the front, rear, and outboard sides. There is nothing to prevent the battery from sliding inboard, toward the engine.

At the junkyard I saw a vertical rod with an eye on the top, and 2-inch (or so) long plate (hold-down?) at the bottom, that was threaded into the bottom tray on the inboard side of the battery. Is this the missing part?
