I just got a battery hold down (Genuine VW)from the Depot, but seems I am missing the original bolt to hold it in. Can anyone tell me the size to buy since my personal bolt selection is nill right now?

The spec says M8x40 (VW part number N 010 340 4) and an 8x3 washer goes there also.

I measured mine to compare. I think the grade is 8.8 but mine is too corroded to be 100% sure.

M8 bolt, 1.25 pitch, 13mm head
48mm long, partial threads 23mm

Thanks, I will pick one up on the way home. Maybe a few, seems that is a common size around the bus.

M8 is common but the length of the shank probably won't be.
