I am working on my passenger side fender right now and want to re-stud, if you will, the studs the previous owner ground off that anchor the under the hood battery box to the fender. Can someone give me a measurement of the length they protrude from the fender face? Also the size and tread.
Thanks,
Brett

Well, found what I was looking for not longer after posting this. Figures. Re-looked at the ORD-9 again and found it. 5/16 18NC X 3/4. Page 169. I'll leave this post up.

Good thing you realized there were supposed to be studs there on the fender before you painted it.
For me I did not know there were supposed to be studs for the box anchors straps. They had been cut off and I didn't see where they had been. So I finished the fender without them. Now I have box that isn't anchored because I didn't want to back and mess up the paint job.

You can still just drill the two holes and install two bolts from the bottom up without disturbing the appearance and only the real nitpickers will notice the bolt heads when they look under the fender.

When I feel like being energetic again I'll take the fender off and do that fix.
