battery nuts
Looking at these (yes, I lost the negative terminal nut-dont ask)

One of these two should work as well as the original correct?
And yes, I will be removing the battery and tray to see if I can get to it later on.
Thanks.

The second one might work. The nut you lost is kind of cone shaped and as you tighten it, it pulls the clap tighter. A regular bolt won't do that.
I thought I remember someone finding them on EBay.
If you take the other one off, without loosing it, you'll see what I mean about the shape.

You can also contact AES (http://www.aescorvetteparts.com), which is where I got a used OEM replacement.

Tried calling CULTRAG but they were closed. I called gmpartsnow.com, they said 11612153 is a positive terminal nut for the starter. So that isn't what I want.
Also was told they only sell the cables with the nut, and I would have to order the entire thing.. lol yeah, not doing that.

I just emailed them a picture of what I was looking for and told them it was for an '08 base coupe. Feel free to borrow my picture from this thread if it helps:
