Battery connectors
« on: June 06, 2007, 06:27:10 pm »
Where on earth can I get connectors like the ones pictured below?
I tried loads of my local shops but no joy.

The bottom pic shows my temporary fix. I wrapped the wire around the terminal :-[

Q. why have you clamped the wire on like that ??
if you undo the screws completely & turn the bottom plate over and screw it back together you will find its a better fit

I'd have thought so, not as cheap as crocodile clips though at a pound a throw from my local  motor spares shop. I could'nt find them in my local halfords either but I'm sure theyre worth a tenner.
