Battery tie down doesn't fit?

I bought the stillen battery tie down (I know, I know.. ) but it doesn't fit.

Does anyone else have this one?
Maybe the stock screw posts need to be adjusted?
Or should I just return it?

Thanks!

I thought you had to replace the bolts to make it fit...buy the j-bolts which the 4th gen has??? I could be crazy though.

Re: Battery tie down doesn't fit?

any other suggestions?
maybe they sent me the wrong size, or is it one size fits all?

Yeah I think longer j-bolts should be fine.. I had to do that when I bought the Southwestautoworks one.. Stillen should be the same..

It's not necessarily the height of the bolts, I think it's the width between the two don't match up with the drilled holes in the bar.. I haven't taken the battery out to look underneath to see if I can bring them closer together or not yet, but maybe someone can answer that for me before I go doing that.
