  Yea..Yea I know it should be a no brainer but it looks like my tray was trimed on the side that goes against side panel. I see the hole for the side facing the engine but except for one small one in the bottom don't see were it could go. I looked on ebay and such and didn't see were it was latched onto or even a hole on the side I think is missing. So could someone post a picture of were the J bolts are anchored.

On the engine side, there is a hole in the side of the battery tray that is bent up. On the fender side, the hole for the J bolt is actually in the inner panel of the car. Sorry I don't have a pic. New computer and don't have my pics handy right now.

Actually, that big hole is covered by the battery tray. The hole for the J bolt is located on the vertical part of the inner panel.

I agree with tan top.  My tray has a corresponding hole and that is where the long j bolt goes to hold down the battery.  There are no other holes on the inner fender.

The j-bolt goes through a hole in the apron....You can see the hole in Tantops pic,right by the wires. The big hole down below is not for the J-bolt.

If there are no holes as shown in my pic you need to make one.

Just put in a OEM batter holder and I agree with maxwell. My shorter j bolt was barely long enough and Im wondering if the dimensions on the new batteries as different.

You must be using a taller battery - but if you got it to work properly you are all good!

Mine looks like the picture as far the holes go, taken care of about 2 YEARS ago. :2thumbs:
