Default brass bolts
Does anyone have a source for purchasing the 5/16 brass bolt and nut that attaches the grounding block to the battery and firewall?
Thanks

Try the aviation aisle at Lowe's or Home Depot.

I ended up getting a brass bolt intended for toilet mounting. I can't specifically remember the size, somewhere around 5/16 or 3/8.
