chilli Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Just changed my battery for an hcb005 but the existing battery clamp on the car I think was non-standard, rigged up to hold the old battery which must have been shorter in hight, so the old bar was straight. Need the proper bar now, presume it has a bend in it and bends down to meet the front cross-menber thingy where it bolts on. anyone got a spare one, chromed preferably, new or good condition second hand.

r1george Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Get in touch with colsoop he's a trader and on the traders list (it's a bling thing) Just got a chrome one from him it's very good. can't remember price as I bought other things as well, i think it was about £20, check out his website.

uzthedentist Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 i have one, not chromed though, you can have it for a 5er then get colsoop to chrome it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 thanks chaps ok, I've pm'd colsoop. If he needs a clamp for chroming, I'll take that one off you uzthedentist can I just check, there are two different types, jdm and uk spec? I have a J-spec car but with an HCB005 uprated battery (round posts), do I still need a jdm clamp or now I need a uk spec one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gzaerojon Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 i fitted a HCB005 the other day, had to bent the stock clamp slightly but it looks like it wall hold no problems, i have the nut right at the top, but apart from that it's ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 ahhh right cheers, i'll try a jdm clamp too then, don't mind if it needs a touch of bending to fit. My positive terminal wouldn't go over the post without damaging the soft lead terminal post on the battery, so I thought it was best to change them. I was able to fit new terminals on the existing wire but the leads are a little tight, good idea about unhooking the loom holder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
