Guest scott mich bca # 6619 Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Try Buick World: 360-825-3787 or Wheatbelt 580-552-2449.The bolts are standard 5/16" carrage bolts available in the hardware store,you can buy longer ones and cut them if necessary.What ever you buy, make sure you wash them with laquer thinner, prime and paint them with a good quality paint, because the battery acid will corrode the metal if you don't. Eastwood has a special battery tray paint that they sell specificaly for that. I'm sure a good Rust-O-Leum would work alos.Scott Mich BCA # 6619, OCA # 3947 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
