Battery fixing
 
Went to remove the battery from my donor car a pre Facelift and found what I thought was a sensible fixing. See item 4 in the following link
https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID001613

Neither of my Facelifts have this long bolt and nor did my previous donor car, which also was a Facelift.

Is this long bolt standard on Facelifts or a project drive deletion? I can see it making its way onto one of my cars, far better then messing about with a short bolt.

I think this was a PPD modification

Correct. Some "scrappers" on here have the original long bolts for sale from
time to time. :}

Hi Dave.
The ones i put together are half length, i was completely surprised that they did not all be taken up, seeing as they are FOC only Scott claimed one, maybe at next meet in March 2022 they will be wanted more ? certain helps when having to line the battery holding down strap ;)

That's a shame. Great idea. Going to have to copy that somehow. Not likely to manage a nano meet this year from Cornwall but maybe 2022:}

Even if you cant get the bolt, B&Q sell threaded rod. Get 2 nuts and probably just soldering them in place would give the the securing nut at the "bottom" and a nut at the top for a socket.

Hi Steve. You also gave me one, thanks very much. Saves a lot of fumbling around when refitting the battery.
