Re: Battery Tray "J" Bolts

Kev, can you tell from the lower sides of your battery box if yours truly used "J" bolts, or were they more likely straight rods, threaded at the top of course, but with a flattened section at the bottom and a small "lip" facing upwards that engaged a slot (not a round hole) in the battery box? I know a picture would be a lot better than my trying to describe it. I do have one or two of the latter and could send you pictures, easy enough to make them with some round rod, die, torch and hammer for a little forming, and some filing. Easier of course if you can find them NOS.

I'll try to post a picture of the OEM ones I have, though I'm not sure they're correct for 1954.
