It just happens I found for another car for sale that has the same type of battery set-up as mine. It is a 1929 Model 626 and still has the original style battery hold down and 2-screw cover. So I'm posting a couple of pictures for anyone else that might be asking my same question.

Cheers!

Yep, finally figured that out...thanks.

Thanks, that really helps to know that the cover screws are female threaded! I found the supplier as well, thanks.

My cover has only 2 mounting holes, which from the parts book looks like was unique to the 626 and 633. The battery hold-down and the cover must use the same long studs that mount in the bottom of the battery box.
Now if anyone can rustle up a photo of the battery hold-down would be great!

If you look at the photo of my battery box, you can see a piece spot welded to the inside of the box that would be opposite the end of the battery. Not sure what this is for; it is on both ends.

My 1929 with battery box behind the RH fender does not have a battery hold down. Also, the battery box cover has 2 holes for hold-down screws but there is nothing in the box to screw them into. So 1) what would this battery hold down look like and what does it fasten to, and 2) do the cover screws fasten into the hold down, because there appears to be nothing else to engage. The parts book pictures are too blurred to tell. Any photos of these parts would be very helpful, and better yet a source to purchase from.

Haven't been able to attach a photo yet...I'll keep trying.

Thanks! I've been told that the weight number is also stamped on the spring, underneath the axle mounting. So I'll compare that to the service manual after I get it apart.

One challenge will be to support the car while pulling the spring...is under the frame, directly behind the spring the best place?

Interesting find in the service letters. I'll download them next!

Thanks everyone for the help! I believe I have a solution identified.

Thanks, I have called and left a message.

I discovered that the main leaf of my front spring is broken. I can provide dimensions if there are any originals available out there...please let me know if you have one. Or are there any shops out there that make leaf springs?

Thanks!

I have a 1929 334 (633) 7P Sedan that came with a (stone?) screen for the radiator, however there are no parts for the mounting. Looking at other cars, it appears I need a top mount that fits over the radiator fill, and 2 headlamp bar clamp mounts. Please advise if this is correct and where I might start looking for these parts. (Attached photos are of other cars.)
Thank you!
