Interesting. It set me thinking. Depending upon the width of the radio, you might go to an auto parts house and look at auto-battery clamps. These often are padded angles with a piece to tie them together at the top (across the top of the battery or radio) and a way to pass a bolt vertically down through the surface on which the battery (radio) rests.

For example: BATTERY HOLD DOWN -- you might have to extend or shorten the rod that goes across.
