Battery clamp.

[peter t]

Hi, I am looking for a pic of an original battery clamp instillation. Have found a couple of clamps on e-bay but trying to figure out how it fits. One side must bolt onto something and there is a long bolt with a hook on one end for the other side. If someone can supply a pic of original installation I can modify what I have got. Thanks heaps toanyone that can help.

One side of the battery frame bolts to the firewall & the other (outside) edge is secured down with a long threaded rod.

If you look at your firewall you'll see a 6mm threaded hole for the bolt (10mm head).

And there's a plastic battery tray with a drain hole & rubber hose down to below the chassis rail.

Sorry, mine hasn't got a battery mounted so can't provide a picture.

Thanks heaps guys, I found the bolt hole in the firewall but no hole in the battery tray for the long bolt. Maybe it just grabs onto the under side of the battery tray. I have bought other stuff from the people listed on the e-bay link and they are good to deal with so I will place an order.

No hole. Just grips underneath as you suggest.
