Battery negative terminal bolt snapped

Post by Entwicklung34 » Fri Oct 26, 2018 7:56 am

Hey all.

Whilst tightening the negative terminal connection to the battery i snapped the bolt. It's currently connected and doesnt seem to be an issue, but next time I want to remove it it will be. Does anybody know if this bolt can just be replaced ? I've never tried to remove it but I feel that it's a captive bolt.

Any advice anyone can offer please???

It very well could be thank you very much! I didnt realise that was the system but i've never examined it before... i actually feel much better about it nowas it shouldnt be a big deal to replace that piece.

Thanks again  :D
