Car battery plastic mounting spacers
Discussion
Anyone know what these are called and where I can buy them?
The battery I bought is without them, yet for my car with OEM mountings, it requires them to provide the height to clamp the battery in place.
I contacted and returned to the business where I purchased the battery from but they had no clue and would not take them off another battery.
I have searched Google extensively, ‘spacers, mountings etc’ with no joy.
Any ideas?

Refuse to accept the battery without them as it is not a direct replacement, and buy a battery elsewhere. It's shocking how ignorant some suppliers are about their own products and this has been an issue for as long as I can remember.
I frequently see cars without them when they're needed, and I've even seen some batteries with them moulded on... in which case they won't fit a VW!
I have a load of them knocking around (throw nothing away) which doesn't help you and probably will never help me/ my customers as they all have different size/shape/spacing of mounting tabs

Did you manage to get this resolved? If not, please send me a PM. I might be able to help.

No joy just yet on obtaining these plastic spacers.
My battery is a black 075 battery, and I require 2 spacers, one for each side.
Let me know if you can help. I tried to DM you but it wouldn’t allow me to.
Best regards,
David
As stated earlier, different casing manufacturers have used different size/shape and spacing on the locating pegs. Post dimensions of what you need and those of us that have some will check what we've got.
To illustrate what I mean, see the three below that happened to be on my bench... they're all different...

No problem. I did also send you a DM but appreciate it might not have been received. One more question from me… Is it a Yuasa battery?
All the best,

Having worked at a factors for 10 years i have never seen these before.
I know you can get batterys same size etc but differant clamping methods. Usually jap or kias.
But i have never seen these removeable from a battery.
Im sure it was an 054,053,055 and 056 batterys.
2 terminal layouts n to clamping options
