group 34 buss bars?

[Blazin_Jason 10+ year member]

Currently have a group 34 optima blue top up front on my truck that I want to add some buss bars to. It has a standard top post and threaded stud. Trying to figure out my options for how to do this. I could just make a bar that bolts down through the stud, but would like to some how use the post if possible as well.

i get that stuff all the time im an electrician so whenever i change out a panel i get to snag the copper bus bars that are in it. just drill and tap a hole the same size as the threads on the battery and thread a bolt through the battery with a lock washer or something.

I'm just trying to find a way to incorporate both terminals on the battery. Could use set screws in from the side to tighten down on the post. Could maybe drill and tap the post to put a bolt into it. Not too sure I want to do that yet.

Ya I might order a group 31 for up front, but with the blue tops they still have the post.

9512ds your buss bars look good man nice work.

Made these up for using on a red top. I can't use the side terminals so all connections need to be done on the top.
