battery terminal

[needboost2live]

So I'm starting to have problems with my positive battery terminal on the passenger side battery. Its not tight on the post anymore and looses connection and sometimes I can't start due to lack of a good connection. I can spin the terminal enough to get it to connect. The nut/bolt to tighten it is however stripped and unmoveable. I need to find a battery terminal to repace it but Advanced Auto and Auto Zone had noting useful. Anyone else out there find anything that works well? Thanks ahead of time.

They didn't have replacement battery terminals with either the clamp for attaching the cables and other connections or a marine style connector where you have another post with a wing nut on it? That surprising if they didn't.

im looking for something sort of like this cause it closely resembles the setup of the factory

If i could find one like that that also has a post to attach the third smaller wire that would be great!

put a eye end on the smaller wire--and put it under one of those screw terminals--if the screw aint long enough--get a bit longer screw--------

is the terminal in ok shape other than the bolt? it might be worth trying to replace the bolt.

Might be a little more than you want to spend, but these are worth the money...

Thanks for posting that link happy. Their prices are about $20 cheaper than the ford dealer.

also just about any welding supply company can make you a set of cable far cheaper than you can buy a pre made set.
