question abt the fusebox cables on the side of the 100amp

hey just wondering about that but i "think" i mightve lost one of the screws on the side of the fusebox. not on the ends which secure it in the engine bay, but the ones that secure the wires to the bottom of the 100 amp fuse. the size says "9" on the top but it really needs a 10mm ratchet. anyways i was just wondering it theres one or two screws needed. aside from that, its the only thing keeping my car from not starting. if anyone can help me, i'd appreciate it.

thanks,

-jon

*Borrow* one from some place else on the body. Say from that black snorkel air inlet duct above/in front of the radiator area. Or one bolt that holds the headlight assy in. Then go to PepBoys and buy one off the shelf just like it.

Most people remove the batt cable before messing with that engine fuse box.

yeah i found some bolts similar in front of the radiator that were the same size. problem was the end needed to be grounded down more to be a similar size as the other one. im probably going to go to a hardware store, just to see the array of bolts they have their, plus i might find it for cheaper at a hardware store, vs a car parts store. thanks tho.

9 is the strength, IIRC. None of them list the socket size needed.
