Is there also, plastic-coated nut/washer that work with these

to secure the battery ?

The stock set up was a nut with integral washer.

Thanks, fiatslug87.

 

I found two of those in the pile but

like the old top bracket, they are in pretty

bad shape.

 

I going to try to see if they clean up.

Pick up stainless steel nuts and washers.  The chain home stores (Lowes, Home Depot, Ace, etc.) may have stainless fender washers that will give more washer diameter to better match the size of the bracket eye.

I’d like to find a bracket in good condition like the one in your photo.

Sure 'peers that way, from this angle ???

 

Yep or Nope ???

Nope. That's an old pic, the prop rod is gone now - using hood struts.

Nice battery set up.     I'm surprised to see that your hood prop rod plastic clip is in good shape.   The ones on my '88 MJ & '89 XJ were both broken so I replaced them with metal ones from newer XJ's.   Hood struts would of course solve that problem.

Don doesn’t allow anything on his MJ to be broken, in poor shape, or even out of place.  And, of course, CHROME IS KING!

That's a good idea.   I'm going to chrome my clip!

Dang! I saw that in the back of my truck - along with a ton of other junk (they were using my MJ to haul scrap) - and gave it to a guy who comes around looking for scrap metal. 

 

I don't guess there is a current part sold in stores that will work?
