Battery box bolts

[John Bryan]

My battery box is lacking the bolts/hooks that hold the lid in place. I want to make some, so can anyone tell me the correct length of each bolt and what thread to use. Thank you.

Hi, One's 4" the other Is 2.5" from the end of the thread to the hook, the hook end is flattened and the thread is 1/4" UNF.

Don't tighten them too much because it tends to break the top flange of the box.
