Choices of battery post addons


For the negative connection, when jumping, you should not connect to the negative battery post, i think the owners manual reads to clamp to the frame.
That way, your face is not right next to the battery, if it should blow up.
A better option, would be to drill a hole in the radiator support & using a copper bolt & a couple of copper nuts, with enough length to clamp the negative jumper cable clamp to

Thats ok and I’d buy one but I didn’t want to have to go through the effort of swapping all the wire.

Thanks for your reply I’ll check your recommended URL.
