Battery strap bolt photo?
Does anyone have access to a photo or a diagram of how the bolt and all the washers go together for the battery strap? I have no idea why there are so many washer and the nut for that stupid strap. I can't remember how it all goes back together.

I have a personal penchant agains that bolt. I had no idea there was a nut underneath the frame tab til I sheared off the head. Grrrrr!

I did the same thing. I'm sure there are many others who snapped that thing in half.

You can add me to the list. I have no idea what they were thinking when they came up with that stupid setup.
"Hay look, we have a bunch of extra bolts, washers and pieces of metal. Lets make the battery strap with this. This will piss every single person off if they ever need to remove it."

The battery hold down was definitely an afterthought. The very early production Hypers shipped without them. Apparently they figured out that the battery was too loose. They ended up adding the half-assed hold down at the factory pretty early in production but some got out without them.
