Default Battery hold down
Are the battery hold down tabs ( the top part that bolts down to the body that holds that Battery down) corvette specific or are they gm parts bin pieces. Mine is missing I have a couple from some other gm cars and trucks? Will these fit?

That looks just like the one I used, purchased from a third party via Amazon (link). $3- is a much better price, though.

Hopefully you have the bolt already.
