What about ? The anti theft battery hold down feature on the 37 & 38 models..!Whats the trick for the installation ? If someone knows,please,please,tell me the installation procedure !
 
First you need the correct battery hold down bracket,and 'bent' shoulder bolts, next you need the correct size (squat) battery, then you screw in the bolt to the hold down bracket from the passenger side of the firewall.
 
The shoulder bolts come down from the top through the hold down bracket, it all takes a bit of 'jiggling' to get everything to go together. I dont think there is anything special about the nuts...just a regular hex.
 
I used Carriage bolts and put a slight "Z" bend in them to lie up the battery tie down with the holes in the firewall. The idea behind all this was to offer security for the battery, as it was being moved from under the floor to under the hood. Hoods didn't lock then and someone could steal your battery.
