Does anyone have a pic of what the original looked like please ?

Looks like you have an S2 in your profile photo, here's the (rusty) clamp in my S2

Many thanks Alan

Based on my clamp, I wouldn't have it as the only means of holding the battery in place

If you save all your pocket money, one day you could get one like this

...you mean you can afford a new belt for your trousers so the old one can go on the battery....?

It was only a XL need a XXL now :-)

Save even harder and you can get one that reminds you what make of car you have

As another alternative, I used a standard universal battery clamp on mine, just had to drill 2 holes on the inner side of the battery tray.
The relocated expansion tank is mounted on a piece of folded stainless sheet which is loose but held in place by the battery.

Ps. Sorry about the upside down picture, can't get it the right way up for some reason, proves the battery clamp works anyway!

I had a nice neat stainless version of the original clamp on mine. Then I decided to put the biggest battery I could onto the tray. I now have a nice (not as nice as Philpotts I'm afraid, another improvement to add to the list) ratchet strap over the top and it works a treat, dead easy to get the battery out and the battery no longer 'chaffes' against the mounting. The MOT man reckons it is much better as well! I am NOT going back to a fiddly metal clamp!
