    Looking for Door/courtesy light lenses and battery clamp

    Looking to buy two completely random pieces:

    1. A set (2) interior courtesy light lenses for the "deluxe" front door armrests. They area available through a couple online places, but $70 US seems pretty steep to me. Prefer if all four tabs are intact. Picture of similar lenses are attached:

    2. A battery hold down clamp (including threaded rod) for an 86 Crown Vic (lost mine, no idea where it is)

    Would require shipping to Dartmouth Nova Scotia (Canada).

    Thanks

    What group size battery are you using? Makes a difference in the hold down clamp. WagonMan

        86 uses an odd size battery. Group 56 I think? Not sure if later ones used that, but I know the big battery that is a standard swap for many cars doesn't physically fit into an '86 because of the battery tray.

          I run a group 64 in the ‘87. A Group 62 was the OE size, though. The only difference was the length, width wise they’re the same, so it still fits properly. I used a generic hold down from the auto parts store that works well enough.

            I didn’t realize there was a difference in battery groups. For now I am using a random battery I’ve had in the garage for a few years that seems to hold a charge. A proper battery is on the “to get list”, so I’ll be using the OE size (group 64 I guess).

              If you get the narrow, standard battery, I have nos Ford hold downs only. PM me for measurements and photos if interested.
