Battery Cover with Bolt to keep it in place

Hi,
I already have a battery cover but I am unable to get the bolt to keep it in place and stop any water getting down the hole etc. Does anybody have a battery cover with screw+washer and I will replace the one I currently have?
Cheers,
Mondeoman

Not sure I understand what you need, the metal plate that sits on top of the battery with the threaded part for screwing the nut onto?

Yep that's what I am looking for the nut and metal plate etc to keep the cover in place. I'm a fussy sort of person and want everything in place as it should be when the car was new. I'll buy a new cover if I have to as long as it comes with the bolt to secure it in place.

He doesn't need the clamp or bracketry it is the plastic nut that secures the battery cover in place (number 5 in the diagram!!). I haven't been able to locate one as yet, but I know I have a few somewhere.....

Quick tip for anyone trawling round the scrapyards then...
The Mk3 to Mk5 Transits (1990's models) use the same plastic nut to hold the rear light clusters in place

My original was probably lost when the previous owner replaced the battery. But the wingnut in place serves the purpose quite well. Plus it's available at the closest hardware store.

OK, I don't do this very often but I am going to accept some humble pie and admit that I am wrong and on closer inspection I need the brackets etc as well to secure the battery in place
So does anybody have the complete unit to secure the battery and cover in place? Will to pay sensible price for the bits.
Cheers,
