I bought J-bolts from an Exide battery display at K-mart. I made a cross
piece out of angle iron, cut to length and drilled tow holes, then painted
it. The J-bolts were too long, so I just cut them down. The J-bolts come
with rubber washers and wing nuts. This was about the cheapest repair I've
done to my Midget!
