Source for Positive Battery Cable Terminal
Posted: Mon Sep 19, 2005 6:57 pm

I don't know the proper name for this item, but it is the terminal that crimps on to the positive battery cable, about 8 inches from the battery post. It has four spade lugs on it that the thick brown wires attach to, and they go to the alternator, and the fuse box. I can't find it listed in any parts book. My positive cable needs to be replaced, but I don't think I can uncrimp this, and put it on a new cable.<br>
<br>
Anyone have any ideas of where I can find one?<br>
<br>
Thanks...<br>

Thanks for the information. I didn't see the item on their web sites, but I have e-mailed both companies, with photos, to see if they can help me.<br>
<br>
I have two pictures if anyone can host them for me. I just don't know the proper name for this item.<br>
<br>
Thanks again.<br>

I know what you mean, and I think on other cars it's called a plus bus bar, or something like that.<br>
<br>
I needed one a while ago, although mine was only to hook up the brown wires, didn't use the main battery pos at all. I simply found some sheet steel of the right thickness and cut it to shape, then insulated it, job done <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=

Just received an answer back from ASutoSparks...they are unable to help. We'll see what Vehicle Wiring Products says.<br>
Can anyone host my two photos?<br>
<br>
I'm sure oothers have had this same problem when it became time to replace the positive battery cable.<br>
<br>
Thanks...we'll get to the bottom of this.<br>
