Does anyone have one they'd be willing to let go? It's missing on my recently acquired Westy (bolt and washer still there). Part number is 251915313A.

Thanks. I saw the Buslab option, but it would be $33 shipped, and GW option doesn't seem to work with regular battery (I have a size 41)? I was hoping that someone had one they didn't need anymore. |

I've never used one in 25 years of van ownership. Have batteries in both boxes. Never saw the need for it since the battery is contained by the swivel base and could never get out of it's place. Just make sure your positive terminal is protected with a proper cover which most new batteries have now anyways. I don't know if it's a cavalier attitude or not, but it doesn't bother me to not have the bracket, and I'm an engineer with a do it right or don't to it philosophy.

Thanks again. I haven't had any issues with it so far. My positive terminal is not protected, so I will take care of that. |
