Battery hold down strap for '64

[Gene Fattore]

I need the metal hold down metal strap support that attaches to the cross brace to the passenger side hold down post on the 64 and also the small metal clip/loop that locates the positive cable as it passes over the same cross brace.  [e-mail]

Correct.  I have a Group 60 sealed AGM reproduction AC Delco battery and I have reproduction hold down clamp and rods.  I need the slim metal brace and cable locating loop as requested. Thank you.

Gene, I have the correct style white plastic battery cable hold down clip that goes on top of the radiator support for $10 + s/h. It is seen in the first picture below installed on my 64 CDV.

I say correct style as no one is make an exact reproduction of original which had a press in fastener with white plastic pin that pushes in and locks the clip in place. I've pulled in 44 parts cars and everything, including the 41K mile Fleetwood from a couple years back, had the top clip part broken off. The type I have and use is as close as I have found. To secure to the top of radiator support I use a small screw, lock washer and nut.  Pictures 2 and 3 show what is usually left from the parts cars I bring in. The last picture is from the 1964 serviceman bulletin with happens to have a good picture confirming the original setup.
