Need Help With Part Name and Where to Find a Replacement

[royski]

Was changing out my battery today and dropped the last "** hold down nut" or whatever you call it, into the engine bay and had no luck finding it. Does anyone know the actual name for these and what my best bet for a replacement would be? The battery is pretty heavy and I know its not really going anywhere but I would still like to secure it with the bracket. Thanks!

Personally, I'd just take the other one to Lowe's or Home Depot, find one of the same size/thread, and use it. Maybe add a washer.

It likely won't go anywhere until you hit something or possibly have to brake hard. As Jon said, just go to your local hardware store and pick up what you need.
