My battery terminal looks stripped. I'm looking for a positive battery terminal and possibly one of those battery kill switches that mount on the battery. Anybody have one from a parts car? Thx.

If the battery is stripped out where the threads are you are pretty much out of luck. In a pinch I have taken a bolt slightly larger and or coarser thread and cross threaded it in. Now as for a kill switch. You can go to either Mopac or even Lordco and ask for a battery disconnect switch. I prefer the switch design as you can simply flip a large switch to kill the battery instead of threading a knob on and off. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

I know the terminal of the battery is stripped already and will need a
new battery, but the thread on the terminal at the end of the cable of
the car looks rounded too. So think I should replace that also. The disconnect switch is a better idea but I'm not interested in drilling holes in my car to mount it at this time. I want something that will just screw onto the battery terminal. Thanks for the suggestions.

If you just need the bolt that goes through it, I would hit up a dealer if it is an OEM or Lordco for a new complete end with bolt. I have changed most of mine to the aftermarket ones as they don't rust like the OEM ones do. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |
