Battery clamp WTF?
 

I changed the battery on my '03 blob 8 years ago - nuff respect to the Halfords calcium battery lasting 8 years with car living outdoors! Replaced just now. I remember the two long hook screw things being a tw@t to tighten then. Now I just can't get them to grip grip on to the bottom of battery box. Tempted to drill a couple of holes in bottom to make them grip on so I can tighten nuts. Am I missing something simple??

Just patience and a steady hand.
Failing that get the lady a halfrauds to fit it for you :D

It doesn't grip on the botton of the battery tray...there are holes in the body for the rods to locate in to.

There is a very nice lady in local Halfrauds. This has crossed my mind. :luvlove:

I'm sure she would get your rod in the hole :lol1:

Yes this would make a lot more sense. Presumably below the indents in bottom of plastic tray. Must have got them in last time.

Yep that's it take the battery and the tray out and you will see them.

Yes, easy when you look with your eyeballs!! Doh!
