Would anyone have an old car battery that I could remove the posts from? Or know where I could get a set?

Hey mate,
I've got an old OEM battery from my car. You can have the posts under one condition, you take the whole battery
PM me if you're interested._

At worst, I've found some "side post battery adapters" from the US on eBay that will do what I need. Thanks though.Resident grumpy old fart

I've seen some adaptors locally that might suit. What are you trying to do?79 MK1 Golf Wreck to Race / 79 MK1 Golf The Red Thread / 76 MK1 Golf Kamei Race Car

I want to run my car off a motorcycle battery on track days without having to butcher my standard terminals.
This is to- Lose a bit of weight over the nose
- Charge the motorcycle battery a bit so I don't kill another one from disuse
Of course, I'll need to jump start it off the normal battery.Resident grumpy old fart

I reckon I saw some adapters the other day to go from small round terminal up to large round ones. It was either at BCF or Autobarn.

There's adapters for the Odyssey batteries that might work for you.
Should bolt down straight on top.

Could do.
I was looking at getting a set of these which may also screw in (I wasn't counting on it)

The issue would be the acid leaking everywhere while I transported it, after removing the posts.Originally posted by Water Boy View PostResident grumpy old fart
