39 Deluxe bat hold down

[FlatheadTed]

Does the Bat hold down have a bolt through the fire wall .?? Ted

The 39 uses a 90 degree hold down bracket sort of like a 40 with a single bolt in the fire wall. Bob Drake has a good picture of the complete hold down assembly on his web page. Hope this helps you.

If I recall there is also a bolt through the inner fender skirt.
You can research this through pictures in the green parts book
but is more clearly pictured in the 39 parts book. G.M.

Don't know if this helps or not, as was mentioned, bolt through fire wall for bat hold down.

Here's a couple of pictures of cars I have done using NOS battery hold down parts. Hope this helps.
There is in fact a bolt that goes through the inner fender panel. If memory serves, that bolt is integral of the tray and a nut and washer are placed on the "wheel side" to fasten it appropriately. There is a also a piece of anti-squeak material placed between the tray and panel.

I'm also looking for information and or pictures of a battery hold down assembly for a "41 sedan. I presently have no hold down, but there is a bracket attached to the inner fender well forward of the battery tray that is not attached to anything. Help!
