    Hi everyone! I'm looking for battery tie down brace (made of metal, perhaps aluminum) and battery terminals (with cap for insulation and if possible made of good metal for better conductivity). I'm planning to change the said parts since I've noticed that they've already worn out and could not hold the battery tightly and besides they are really due for replacement. I’ve already visited a number of shops (auto parts and accessories) but to no avail. I found some, but the braces they are selling are made of plastic and mostly fit 1sm batteries (by the way mine is 2sm). Meanwhile, most of the battery terminals I saw is made of ordinary metal and doesn’t include caps for insulation. I also inquired at the casa but still to no avail since they don’t sell the said parts. Thank you very much for the big help!!!!!!!!!!! (I don't exactly know where to post this, kindly move if ever I misplaced it)

    bro .pa modify mo na lang iyan sa suki mo na talyer ,kayang kaya nila iyan, kung ayaw mo ng plastic baka may extra sila na angular bar sa work shop nila lalo na mas malaki pala battery mo

    Meanwhile, most of the battery terminals I saw is made of ordinary metal and
    try mo mag hanap ng brass or iyon parang tanso ,kung ayw mo ng parang ordinary metal
    doesn’t include caps for insulation.
    up to now di pa din ako makakita nito sa mga suking auto supply na malapit sa amin

    bro, if you're near banawe marami dyan mga gold plated na battery terminal. usually ginagamit nila ito sa mga nag setup ng magagandang sound system. last time i was looking for a cap insulator (red, black/blue color) wala din ako nahanap. i just saw a battery terminal na meron ng transparent plastic cap insulator. nasa 500 yata price ng isa. naghanap din kami last time ng battery tie down brace kaso plastic lang din nahanap namin (para sa 3sm). so far ok naman sya until now. nilagay namin sa landcruiser namin. i think mas ok pa nga ang plastic dahil yung metal in the long run nag corrode sya.

    machine shops can do a very good (pulido) job on that metal tie down but it will cost you ;)
