Harold,
My '91 MV uses a 13mm (8 x 1.25) nut to hold the L shaped clamp to the
bolt (stud) so that would be the bolt size. The L kinda pushes the
battery tight to the rear of the compartment. Is the setup you have?

P.S. Thanks for the rear bearing write-up on the BTDT (vanagonauts.com)
site. You should think about posting it here for the archives.
