I know this is pretty weak, but... Any chance one of you guys have two of these studs and one ground strap? Thanks.

I don't have a stock ground strap but I have 4 awg high current cable and some ring terminals where I could make you one better/thicker then the stock cable. Measure how long it is and I can put it together. While your at it measure the battery/chassis ground and we can upgrade it as well.
Yeah never replace the stock ground straps with stock. For what little cost there is you should definitely upgrade.

How fast do you need them? I ask because I am not sure I have enough ring terminals on me and they are the most expensive part. I can get them locally but the are significantly more expensive then if I were to order them.

Take your old cable to a parts store and see what you can match up. My local auto parts store has a 4 gauge 32" ground cable for $6.69. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p...2-ac136hs/11142546-P?searchTerm=battery+cable.
I have a 2001 Crown Vic motor I'm parting out. I've been sick the last few days so it may take a week before I can take a look to see if it has the same piece.

Hey guys, thanks a lot for the offers. It wasn't so much the ground strap as the stud that I was looking for. I guess I was kind of sissying out looking for the stock one lol. I think I'll be able to clean up the stud and you're right, I can just make a new one or pick up a generic one. I guess I'm still in resto mode from my 69. I need to stop that, get's expensive! Thanks again for the dope slap lol!
I'm sure I've got one of those studs. Let me check my stuff tomorrow and I'll let you know.

If you happened to that'd be great. The outer nut wouldn't be bad, but that inner stud is hammered. I'm sure I could get them apart with my torches, but...

a little penetrating oil and it would come off/clean up.

I'm sure I'll be able to get the nut off, but the head of the stud is pretty bad. I'm not even sure I could tighten it back on with a socket. I could put it back on the way it came off which is to not separate the nut, strap and stud or I could make a new stud, but if he has a good stock one, I'd rather just use that.
I sent you a text.

Thanks. I work in a secure building so I don't have my cell phone. I'll go out in a few min.
