Battery Terminal Cable

[chinkeboi]

Hi..

as topic states.. my mate cut the leads to his battery (r33) so he could change the clamps....

but now the positive line is too short and wont connect to the battery terminal lol...

how would we go about extending/fixing this prob?

cheers, Ben.

get a new cable (dunno who stocks that guage though) or get one off a wreck? maybe try those batteryworld places. i'm sure they would have cables for their custom jobs

isn't getting a whole new positive cable put in a very expensive thing?

it only needs to be extended by about 2-3cm to fit... any idea on how to extend the cable?

No, cutting the cable 2-3 cm too short is the expensive part!

Joining cables is fraught with danger. Just replace it with the correct length cable. Any good auto parts shop should carry the right gauge cable to build one.

It begs the question - why did the clamps need changing?

haha you're a wise man...

well my mate the idiot bought a battery which had fatter terminals.. hence the cutting/changing of the terminal clamps... which resulted in the shortening of the positive cable.

blah.. i'll drop by an auto elec to see what they can offer..

cheers anyways mate.
