    A long shot tonight, but on the drivers side of the engine bay just up from the fuse block (4.0) towards the firewall there are 2 threaded inserts in the sheet metal, do any of you all happen to know what size bolt / thread pitch that is? i pulled a few various bolts out to see if they match up but were too small.

    The spacing is perfect for my battery isolator for my dual battery setup but i cant seem to find the info i need.

    I will upload photos tomorrow if no one knows off hand.

    I used it for my dual battery isolator as well. Made some spacers out of aluminum stock for it to fit because my isolator bracket wasn't wide enough. I installed loom over the wiring since this pic was taken.

    My bracket was JUST wide enough for the holes, could stand to be about 1/8" wider per side but for it to fall out would need the bracket itself to fold and at that point i would likely have been in a wreck ha.

    Do you recall where you tapped into the ignition source for the solenoid?

    What relay mount is this? It's exactly what I need since my relays don't have the removable tabs on the back so they won't work with the Cali raised mount.
