battery clamp and terminals

Anyone recomend a good car battery clamp to hold down a 085 battery onto a flat surface and a pair of suitible terminals?


Are the quick release terminals any good?


Is this a good idea, would it count as one method of imobiliser for SVA??

Thanks
Keith.





Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

Vauxhall clamps work by clamping the bottom of the battery. Works well, and the clamp has some play to allow for different battery sizes.

Worked well for me!

Early Peugeot's (205 & 405) have crew termicanls. Basicaly you have alloy cap over roand post of battery with a stud on top of that, then fit battery lead onto that and wind down the wing nut onto that.

Reasonably quick (ok dont need tools) or later peugeots have quick release but normaly on the possitive terminal (dont ask i dont see the logiv in the possitive being quick release when you take negative off first.

Get down the scrapyard and get battery clamps - a right angle bracket that hold the base of the battery in place. There will be loads as noone is interested in them.

Good for what? Why do you want them?

Unless someone corrects me, the immobilsiing methods need to be operated from the driver's seat. If the battery is in the engine bay, then unless you are the illegitimate offspring of Mr Tickles, it is unlikley you would reach. A DNA test would confirm that.
