I bought these new and they seem a touch to big to fit tightly on my battery. Is there anything or wayI can do to make them fit without having to buy new ones. I have tightened the bolt up as much as possible but they seem a couple of mm to big
Just to clear this up a bit, This is a positive battery connector and Im using it on the negative terminal on the battery which explains why it is a bit to big, It just wont close enough to clamp tight when bolting it up ?unscrew it and stick a brass washer around the bolt in the middle, what i did and worked fine...
Do not do this.unscrew it and stick a brass washer around the bolt in the middle, what i did and worked fine...
What do you mean by cut the tubing from top to bottom ? are you saying buy a copper tube and put over the post and then put the battey terminal over that. Is this what you mean ?Do not do this.
Go to Home Depot and get a small piece of copper tubing, if you can't find one that matches your terminal post exactly then get the next size up.
Cut the tubing from top to bottom, so that when you tighten it down with the terminal it will overlap itself around the post.
Good idear! Why didn't I think of that. Sheet metal, I must be retarded today. lolDo not do this.
