Battery Terminal
My Drivers side battery terminal has seen better days...as it is snowing now I have all the stuff I need to survive this winter....New Starter / Starter Relay and decent batteries.....Hopefully when it warms up I can replace my Glow Plug relay.....It is ready to go and since I have to remove the Alternator to do it , I was wondering if anyone knows of a good replacement for the Positive teminal....I looked on Ebay and other places and I saw a few possibilities, but I was just wondering if anyone had real world experience /advice.....Thanks in advance.....

Why do you have two wires to the driver's side positive? If they're both "big" wires (like the main starter wires), there are "flag" terminals similar to the one linked above, that accomodate two wires.

We use these for all repairs:

Then put new large ring terminal on the wire. Easy to remove and repair if needed.

The Military terminals I linked to will allow you to easily, and properly, hook any size wire to your battery with proper ring terminals.
