67 Charger Battery Tray bracket fastener

[Dean Prevolos]

I want to confirm the correct fasterner to use to fasten the side battery tray bracket at the top of the interior fender. I am putting the car back together and of course didn't take a picture BEFORE I removed the fastener.

There is a SQUARE notch on top, see picture. I also have a SQUARE washer that fits into the SQUARE notch. But I can't figure out what fastener to use with the SQUARE washer? I thought I removed a clip fastener with the bolt. I have tried to insert different clips with matching bolts, but haven't found the right one yet. I would appreciate some direction before I just bolt it in incorrectly. Thank you in advance, Dean

I thought that was a welded in square nut, but may be wrong.

No it has a bolt

I think he is talking about what is supposed to be in the empty hole below that bolt.

Yes that is exactly the question, what goes in the empty hole below the bolt? Look forward to the picture qkcuda.

Here is the picture. It is a fully threaded insert, not just a spring clip.

Wow, I wasn't expecting that, I guess I will have to weld in an threaded insert or just bolt it in with a fastener. Thanks for your help and taking the time to take the picture. Very much appreciated.

You were right, it is a welded threaded insert. Whomever had my car before either punch it out or wore it out with too many battery changes. Thanks for your input.
