Title: battery clamps
Post by: Gerry M on July 10, 2004, 11:41:58 PM
anyone know if you need a specific clamp for the +ve battery terminal as tonight I found out even thou mine are as tight as they go, they can still be lifted off. think it might have someting to do with the UK battery posts being slighty smaller
