Battery hold downs for e=body-what's correct? - 08/10/08 09:08 PM

1970 big block cuda..... what does the correct battery hold down kit look like? Is it just the two "J" hooks holding it down or do some also have a little "tab" on the top that sticks out and has a screw hole in it to run a small bolt into the top of the inner fender?

Anyone have a pic of a correct application? Thanks!!

Would this reproduction part (pictured above)be correct for an OE Gold restoration or would one have to find a NOS set up to score perfect?

I'm thinking the pictured unit is for 70 cars and just the very early 71's. Didn't the battery hold down change when the 71 B bodies came out and the E bodies shared the 71 B inner fender with the extra hump by the battery?

my 71 gtx oct 10 does not have extra hump

my 71 satellite jan does not have extra hump

the battery hold down on my 71 gtx 71 satellite is the same as 70 one

The reproduction pictured has a plastic coating. NOS ones have a thicker rubber coating. There is a noticeable difference. We have some NOS ones, and the same repro ones Bill has.

The Oct car doesn't surprise me, but the Jan does a little. When was the changeover again?
