Default 75 FXE battery tray mount bolt

Hey everyone, quick question.

Underwent some major maintenance on my shovel over the past two weeks and during my final check I noticed the bolts missing from the battery tray and the oil tank. The rear bolts that pass through the frame.

I know the oil tank is one of those stupid rubber isolators, but can't remember what was on the battery side. Can anyone provide a pic, part number, or if it's a generic bolt just let me know the configuration? I feel like there was some sort of vibration damper there, but can't remember.

For clarification, there are 4 attachment points for the battery tray. Two bolts to the oil tank, a rubber isolator on the bottom, and a single bolt(?) that passes through the frame almost directly below the upper shock mount point. The last one is the one I'm looking for.

Thanks!

The battery tray mount to the frame tube is another rubber vibration isolator just like the other 3, there are 4 in total that mount the battery tray / oil tank unit.
