70sWagoneers 13 Posted January 11 I ordered 2/0 cable and a straight post clamp type battery terminal for my 6v Buick. First, the clamp says 3/0 but i went ahaead and soldered it. But then it actually seems to be the smaller neg terminal size, even though it has a "P" on it. Even after spreading the opening its still too small, but it would fit the neg great. Do you agree and/or am I crazy? Thanks James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Friartuck 88 Posted January 11 Maybe profile the terminal and post for a better fit: https://www.lislecorp.com/specialty-tools/battery/3-way-battery-tool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bloo 513 Posted January 11 Yeah I'd go after it with a terminal scraper. Might be slow. Looks like a brass terminal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Bruce aka First Born 2,300 Posted January 11 Did you try turning the terminal over? Ben 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
54vicky 20 Posted Sunday at 06:44 PM be gentle as they break if forced apart not truly brass more of mish mash of metals.I am sure they are from the far east.the tip about Rhode Island is good advice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bloo 513 Posted Monday at 03:37 AM I'll bet it's brass. 70sWagoneers says he soldered it (good plan IMHO). That doesn't work with the mystery metal. Assuming the terminal is on right side up (sure looks like it to me), get a terminal cleaner like one of these and go after it slowly and carefully. Note the actual blades on these, as opposed to the commonly seen wire brush. Just hog it out enough to barely fit down level with the top of the post.

70sWagoneers 13 Posted Monday at 12:35 PM It was from Rhode Island Wire. So I actually just went to Napa and got a correct size 2/0 that fits right, looks better,and cheaper. Thanks everyone James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
