Thread: Replacing battery terminals

I'd go something like this:

Thanks Tombie,

This is what I currently have for positive, I assume it is standard?? What would you do with both the positive's from the loom using your suggestion?

The terminals you've pictured are a bit average in my experience.

They are good, but the clamp arrangement for the cable on the end is a bit crap. I'd stick with lugs on the cable ends, and bolt straight to the top terminals rather than dicking around with squishing the cable into the end and clamping it down. It's a recipe for working loose, or having frayed ends which will short out on you.

Or clean up the one you have and replace the thread with a stainless bolt and grind two flats to fit, M8 bolt? from memory...

Thanks Guys, I appreciate the input!

I replaced my old ones with these,,

Bolt the primary to the Starter to one of the 2 bolts at the bottom, bolt the second one to the other bolt. (using lugs - dont clamp into the guts)

Thanks again gents!
