99 FXDL Battery Tray Questions
Problem #1
==========
I have 1999 FXDL and removed the battery tray two years ago. I'm putting it back on now and cannot get it to fit. There's a trick to getting it to go back on I cannot remember. One the right top back portion of the try is a pin that slides into an angled cut out that holds the battery mount bushing. On the left are brackets for the screws #4342 and #4383. Seems like the tray is 1/8" wide and will not clear the ignition key mechanism.
Problem #2
==========
I need to get copies of screws #4342 and #4383 and I live far from a dealer. Anyone know the dimensions and thread sizes for these so I can get temporary replacements at the hardware store and then pickup genuines later or online?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
