ol' yeller Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Are these just NLA? I could use a little help on this. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I couldn't find any new factory style replacements to put in The Reatta Store. I'm sure new aftermarket replacements could be found but I doubt they would look the same as the originals. If you want them to look original you will probably have to go with used ones. Just my .02.

wws944 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 What do you mean by 'stripped'? If it is just the bolt that goes into the battery, those are available at any auto parts store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ol' yeller Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 WINNER! Total cost of repair was $3.49 for bolt and washer at my FLAPS. I ran a thread chaser down the battery bolt hole to clean up the threads. It appears that the PO didn't seat the washer all the way into the plastic around the cable end. That left just a thread or two holding the cable into the battery and eventually they stripped and would no longer hold the connection. Now it is good and tight, no more engine whine through the radio and my headlights no longer dim when I step on the brakes. Thanks for everyone's help.Greg What do you mean by 'stripped'?
