Super M battery box bolts

sony224422 · Nov 5, 2018

I need to get some bolts for the seat to mount to the box, the 2 in the front. I think they are 1/2" but i am not sure. Does anyone know the size?

And in the rear, i can lift the box up a little, like it isn't bolted down. The big ground bolt is in the box and hooked up, but i can't seem to figure out how the rear of the box is mounted (the battery is still in there, i haven't had time to take it out and really look)

Thank you

Battery box under seat mounts the seat base at front with 1/2 inch coarse threads. Original SM that used that type box had a metal strap on each side near rear of box that bolted to the transmission top cover bolt on each side of the box. Straps were on the outside of the box. If the box is in good shape the 5/8 inside box mount bolts toward the front of the battery box shouldn't let the rear lift up hardly any unless a good bit of pressure is applied.

Thank you. I'll go to the hardware store and see what I can find for the hold down bolts.

I do not have the tabs in the rear, but i found a picture of what they were supposed to look like. I will try tightening up the front bolts too, and maybe make something for the back of the box. I have a fear of the seat coming off and falling off the back.

If it's fastened down securely in front and the box is not rotten or rusted out, it will not fall off the back.
