Aren't they suppose to have the wedge style hold down? If so I wonder if the GM type would be close enough to work, they used the same one for who knows how many years, lol (the past 30 anyway, haha).

Yup a wedge is what we use.  Of course they only work if the battery is of the correct dimensions.
