battery tray threaded insert

Post by Blaise »

I am getting my car back from the body shop in about a week.

In their work, we replaced the battery tray.

Does anyone know where I can find the captured nut and clip that is used for the battery hold down bracket? I cannot seem to find it on realm.

Here is the hole that it goes into (not my car).

Most decent hardware stores have those in stock. I just found out what the thread pitch was and got it there.
