Battery light came on while driving last night :confused:

Did a quick voltage check and she wasn't charging :frown:

I was about 30 minutes from home, but she ran fine on the primary battery and got me home safe with plenty of juice to spare :cool:

Got up this morning, checked all the connections and found a smoked fusible link :meh:

It was probably due to being stretched out on my endless stack of ring terminal connections, but more on in a bit :doh:

Had a spare link in the glove box, but when I tried to remove the old one, the brittle stud block thingie cracked in my hand :bang:

Anyone have a the part number for this?

The parts monkey at my local stealership doesn't have a clue and only came up with the fusible link part number 🙄

On a sidenote, I've been meaning to upgrade my battery terminal to get rid of the clutter of wires and don't want to add another fuse block (already have one) 😐

Anyone running one of these multi-post terminals or sumthin similar?

They're kinda spendy, so I'm looking for a cheaper option :greedy:

Awesome!!

Thanks man :)

Not is stock, but will be here in the morning :cool:




Looks good, but I'd still have the same issue with all the random ring terminals I have goin on :doh:
Run a link to a busbar or fuse block and add your accessories there. That would be the best way to do it. I added the terminals to be able to add additional circuits for fuse blocks, winch, dual battery and whatever.

Already have a distribution fuse block for other accessories that takes up a bit of room on top of the batt :hmm:

I have the secondary battery main and winch cables running to the terminal directly and they sit kinda high (a bit too close to the hood for my liking) :doh:

I was looking into busbars when I stumbled upon the multi-post terminal.

Looks like it would get things done pretty solid if I fit one between the smaller marine terminal

How about moving them the the sides instead of on top?

I've just made some of these terminal plates for my cruiser as I am unemployed and lots of things are out of my price range and hey if I can make it then why not. They are made from Galvanised plate strip and cut into lengths with a hole to fit the terminal bolt and then 2 holes tapped for small bolts with a washer, spring washer and wingnut and bent to make it so they are not too tall and touch the bonnet when closed. They cost me nothing but the parts I had in the workshop. They took me a few hrs to make but hey my labour is free. I fitted them to both batteries and both terminals on each battery. I hope this helps. I will be wiring up my power gauge and other things to these in the next few days.

Now to work on cleaning up the bundle of snakes :o

Already ordered a bus bar to move all the small time grounds away from the marine terminal (they're mainly for a timed video relay system for the hidden starter switch)

Once I have it on hand, I'll see if I the quality is good enough to use on the positive terminal as well

I actually have a set of Military style terminals hidden somewhere in the trunk, but I'll be damned if I can find them lol
