encountered an issue- i dont seem to have the bracket that holds the battery in place in the plastic tray in the boot relocation kit , what exactly holds it in place ?

what is part 13 ? is it a metal/plastic piece or some sort of strap ?

part 8 and 9 , its not listing it, 7 is available, whats 7 ? it is available, will that alone hold the battery in place ?

or can anyone help with the bits i need ?

on mine i got a normal clamp, it was the same one as I had up front, theres a threaded hole in the battery tray for it to clamp down and secure,

no 7 looks like the one,

You only need No 7. I've never seen that strap.

my m3 just has a number 7 at the back of the battery, the front edge slips under a ridge in the tray, so the single clamp bolt at the back will have no problem holding it in place.
cheers,
