Did the sprint have a cover over the negative and positive terminals ?

Thanks

Positive absolutely yes, even if there was not, I would put one on.

Negative I can't find it on any of my pictures, but my memory say's there was.

On the safety side, a cover on the negative won't make a difference, as all bare metal areas are negative,
but it may help keep the terminal a bit cleaner.

I'm sure you will get a positive answer (make that a negative (terminal) by the end of the day.

Thanks for the reply

I thought so , only on the positive side

Great forum for info and advise

Yep, just on the +ve. Wish I could get hold of one that hasn't got a split in it.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the detailed photo

Regards Simon

That pic is pure fiction....
The positive clamp is a clamp and doesnt have a lead pot with a hole for a screw. That kind of connector was always bin fodder on MGB's
My early dolly always had the clamp and was built long before any Sprints came along....

It was just to show the cover on the +ve lead and not on the -ve lead. No pleasing some.

Prob not what you want but an alternative to nothing

That looks close to the original Tony. Thanks for that.

Lol....sorry Mart that wasn't aimed at you....the parts book authors are to blame...

Well out of date.... I'm sure Simon was well chuffed with the pic, which was only wrong in that one detail.

Jonners

No worries mart.

Tony

The battery cover in Tony's link looks just like mine, except in one piece

I'll order a couple, thanks Tony.
