I'm not sure if this is the correct part of the forum but does anyone have the battery mounting hook & wing nut (or nut) to suit my 1997 TF Magna?

It is for my daughter's car. I just lifted the bonnet to check the engine oil and noticed the hook was missing and the positive battery lug red insulating cover pushed aside.

It took me a few minutes to work it out as I was blaming myself. I then remembered that she took the car for an air-conditioning service. The air-con sight glass and filter is below the front of the battery. Whoever did the service just took it out and left it off. Typical of today's quality service!

I live in Chatswood (Sydney) with post code 2067. If anyone has a hook can they let me know and I will buy it and pay for the cost of postage.

Thanks

Local wreckers perhaps?
There should be another, identical one holding the other side of the battery hold-down, look at & measure the length, seeing it is a fairly standard part found on other makes and models, shouldn't be too hard to find a suitable replacement.

Even your local parts shop will be able to sell you one as part of a battery hold-down kit.

HINT: Take the rest of it off too, in case it flaps about and hits the positive (red) part of the battery connection, resulting in instant fireworks.

I bought a generic one from supercheap for my third gen, works fine. I think I had to shorten it a little so it didn't hit the bonnet. Your local car shop should have one which will fit.

I'd take photos and send the bill to the aircon place.

Peter one of these may suit - http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online-store/batteries-and-electrical/batteries-and-accessories/battery-accessories.aspx?id=40605&articleType=Battery%20Clamp
