Hello,
I'm having my 59 Vette Flight judged next month and am trying to find 1 original Battery hold down J bolt. I'm told that most of the repros don't have the correct bend (it's to sharp) and have the wrong thread and therefore won't pass. The original should be about 8 inches long, be made of 1/4 inch stock and the theaded part be about 1-1/2 long. I would certainly appreciate you looking through your old parts box.
If you have one, please let me know what you want for it.
Just as an FYI, I bought a very nice Delco Tar Top battery yesterday from The Antique Auto Battery Co in Ohio. Yes...it is the real Tar Top, not the Poly Tar. You can get the Poly Tar Top for $245 plus shipping. The Real Tar Top battery with the soft tar (they say will pass NCRS judging) was $290 plus shipping. It is the 2SMR53 750CCA Maintenance free battery with a 4 yr warranty. 10-1/4 x 6-3/4 x 9 to the top of the post. Expensive....yes...but it's what the judges are looking for. They date code them free.
Thanks
