A battery tie down bolt is typically 1/4 " and the "correct" chrome plated
wingnut is 5/16 if memory serves me correct.  Look at item 18

j8/windscreen-side-screens-and-glass/side-screens-bn1-to-bn7-bt7.html

to see what the wingnut looks like.  We are referencing it strictly from an
originality perspective lol.  Other wingnuts would work, just not as
"original"
