I snapped off the studs for my battery tray. I have read of some people just drilling new holes and throwing a bolt in. Do I need a tap and die kit? Or can I get away with just a drill bit? Open to better ideas as well

 

Just drill though the battery the broken studs and glue in the new bolts that way it will be easier to install tray .

 

That sounds a bit sketchy......


Maybe drill through the battery tray?




I just used some quarter inch all thread with a couple of locking nuts above and below the tray to keep it in place. Some epoxy might not be a bad idea.

 

I'd wirebrush that rust and repaint as well.

 

maybe even some rust converter.... I just spent two days cutting out the metal/rust under the battery box and replacing it (welded in 16ga).. not fun in this heat

 

Sorry I meant dill though the broken studs .

 

Aww, I knew whatcha meant. But I couldn't miss a chance for a cheap shot, now, could I?

 

It's cool I think I had one to many that day.

 

NOBODY dills their way into, nor through this stud.

 

I think maybe you had to many caned courage
