Replacing battery tray question on jeep.

Recommended Posts

The GPW that arrived has had a homemade battery tray fitted. About the only non - original part. I have a replacement battery tray from Jeeparts. How does it attach to the body/chassis? There look like what may be a couple of sheared off captive nuts in the chassis, under layers of paint. But there are no holes in the replacement battery tray to suggest thats the case. Are there hidden captive nuts in the chassis? If so do I need to drill holes in the replacement battery tray?

The tray is attached at the front by a nut & bolt through the front cross member and a bolt into a tapped hole in the shock absorber mount, at the back nuts & bolts through the chassis rail/engine mount bracket
