Side Post Battery Terminal Adapter

Hey,

I shipped my Z28 to Europe and it is difficult to find US GM batteries.

Someone has an idea about the size for the side post battery terminal adapter ?

I found different sizes. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Forney-54774...-/281579489478

If you have any website to advise or/and product, it would be great.

Any other idea to use standard batteries are welcomed

Yeah, those have been around since they started using side posts many years ago.

I've never seen different sizes. That one in you link give no size info, other than the wire gauge range (which should be sufficient). In the US, you can find those adapters at any auto parts store.

3/8" is the standard for the side post bolt. I've never seen a battery use any other size.
