    C2 Battery Spacers

    Are battery spacers correct for 1966, if so do they go in the corners of the battery tray? I do not see them pictured in the AIM. I bought a set from a vendor and I want to install my battery correctly. Thanks, Craig

      If what you're talking about are small plastic or rubber pieces, I believe these are attached to the corners of the battery HOLD-DOWN bracket. I don't think these were ever used in PRODUCTION, although it's possible they were part of the original hold-down brackets. Not to my recollection, though.

          Craig,
          I think the spacers were to be install on 63 corvette's but they make the positive battery cable dangerously close the the top battery shield. There is a 1963 TSB (I believe) to remove them if this condition exists and I don't know if they were used after 63.

                  They were not present on any of the original MY's I have seen.

                      How are they attached to the battery hold-down tray? Glue?

                          Craig, I am with Tim, early 63 had them and then went away because of positive cable grounding out. Would not use them.

                              Yes, I got them via Ebay and I'm going to return them.

                                  Yep, Tim nailed it.

                                  FYI to answer Bob's second question, there were not cemented.

                                  Just held in place by tightening down the top bracket.

                                  Originals were rubber.
