OK...spill the beans...who makes the battery area patch?

[kawahonda]

I'm in need of fasteners, but I have no idea what to look for. Here is what I'm hunting.

1) Clip nuts. I know there's probably about 3 of them that I need.  One for the bracket, and two that mount to the inner fender. Any help on which? I have a paint supply store here in town, but they probably have about 5 different types....

2) Bolts. I need the 2 bolts that secure the tray into the inner fender. I also need the other two bolts for the brace. I already have the bolt that mounts on the other end of the battery tray. What are they and what do they look like?

3) I need that "push on" fastener. Looks like there's nothing truely correct out there. This appears to be my only option:

Would love to get this stuff on the way! Welding is basically finished!

...beat me to it...I was looking for a link to a kit

[kawahonda]

Perfect! Thanks guys. He's even in Idaho too!

I'll grab that push in wire clip on eBay, unless you guys know of a better one. It will work....

Welding those 22+ spot weld holes went without a hitch......no cold welds.....just boom, boom, boom, boom....

Grinded the spot welds. Cleaned backside. Rust treated and painted some components.

Going to do some "finish" welding (pin holes). A tad bit more grinding. Then prime, seam seal, and reassembly.

I'm thinking to grind out indentations on the spot welds like factory.

I wouldn't call this a big job, but it isn't a small job. Probably billable for 16 hours and labor intensive.

Rear is seam sealed. Will blast some undercoating tomorrow.

Engine bay area is ground. Will try to lay some primer on it tomorrow then reassemble.

Yay, everything else here on out is pretty easy-stuff.

[kawahonda]

Nearly done.

...and there you have it...no more rust ! Great job

I noticed that the battery tray doesn't sit level.

I also pulled up some stock pictures and of course, it never did sit level stock.
