Battery bar Hooks?

[Deleted]

:Pi have a question

on the battery bar (the thing what holds the battery in place) i need to buy the hooks to hold it to the box.

Now on mini spares they have 2 different ones and maybe i am not reading the descriptions right but i cant work out which ones in need. or if i nedd 1 of each

They have 1 which is 5.5mm for pre 1990 and 1 which is 7.5mm

This is the second to last job to be done before roger goes for MOT

sorry daz had a look through all my boxes, try the box of bits i gave you last year.

i think one side is a hook and thread
and the other is a loop and thread which bolts in

never used them , although i am using the cheaper larger 063 battery . looked in Taz Minis boot a few days ago , his battery is wedged with a square of polystyrhene .

You can still use the bar with some heavy duty (reusable / tempory) cable ties. The ones I use at work are about 7mm wide by 300mm long

Alternativly you can just use a threaded bar with the end bent up and but to length with a bolt on the other end.

You can get some decent threaded bar / hooks from B&Q that did the job nicely when I lost one of mine
