Re: 33 1003 battery support/hold down

One of us should check the parts book to see if 33 and 34 use the same battery retainers. If so, yes it's a bit unusual - there are a pair of them, each drops down over one of the threaded rods and just grasps the battery lip at that particular edge. I believe I have a spare someowhere that I've loaned to people from time to time to fabricate duplicates.

If indeed you confirm 33 and 34 are the same, I'll be glad to take a picture of it for you.

PS - of course if the battery you have in the battery box is a different size that the OEM battery, the battery hold down I described above will probably not fit; in that case you can just fabricate a traditional hold down frame and fabricate it with the "ears" to fit the threaded rods.
