Battery Box Assembly Question

I am having to replace the battery box in my 1930 coupe. It is rusted significantly and if I don't replace it, I'm afraid the battery will drop out on a bumpy road. I have ordered a replacement box from Snyder's. I also have the support studs, the battery box bolt and nuts along with the battery hold down brackets. The battery box in my car only had 1 support stud and the bolt holding the box to the frame. I am looking for either some direction on how to assemble the studs to ensure the nuts/washers/hold down brackets are assembled correctly. I tried searching the forum but I am not having much luck. If someone can give me some direction/pictures/forum link, on a fully assembled battery box, then I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

I just installed one from them today. Screw a nut all the way down on each of the studs and insert them into the bracket from the top side. The front leg of the bracket has two holes, only one of which the stud will fit into. On the front stud, install a lock washer and nut to the underside and tighten. Set the bracket onto the lower lip of the frame, aligning the rear stud with the hole in the crossmember and loosely add a washer and nut from the underside. You will need a 5/16 by 1 inch bolt and nut, not included, to attach the front leg of the bracket to the hole in the side frame rail. Then tighten both nuts up.
