Is that screw head JIS though?!The way I see it the youngest 80 is now 25 years old.
Like everything else on these trucks the FLs are starting to age and some need replacing
The one that were well cared for are still going strong.
A better hold down helps a lot and should be done anyway as the original design is in inadequate and dangerous.
The @LandCruiserPhil (LCP.com ) battery hold down kit is a perfect solution as it addresses the battery hold down and moves the FL mounting point to the back of the battery box.
So no matter how many times you disconnect, remove or replace the battery the FL don’t get touched it also relieves any strain on them.
The battery hold down is a needed upgrade anyway then add a new FL (under $20 ) put the good working one in your spares or glove box and you should be good to go for another 20+ years.
For me this falls under the kiss plan.
KISS plan = keep it simple stupid.

Thank you for your concern.- i see your @LandCruiserPhil different battery hold down but are you actually running your OEM fusible links set up and its sandwiched stacked
ring terminals off that un-protected double sided bare shop-made lug system you have going on there
- i foresee trouble on your Teq Horizon without these rascals below on both sides , MR-T would be very very displeased with the entire USA-SPEC. 80 Series
community as a whole if he saw such NON-FSM monkey-shines taking place on one of his JDM-produced babies he put in a metal basket and sent across the pond ........
- the RED one below will make MR-T happiest , as its meant for a 12mm HEX head fastener , so your 3/8" SAE ones should be all snuggly under its watchful eye ..

Thank you for your concern.
It’s actually all part of Phil’s kit.
But yes it’s shop make.
And literally hundreds of thousands positive side power posts are unprotected including 80 series batteries once the Hood is up.
It’s been that way with for years with out issue.
I see no difference in that shop made lug then the unprotected auxiliary lug that my wince is hooked up to.
The main lug boot protectors came with the military style connectors that I added.
Would the boot insulator make it better yes is it necessary no.
One should use caution whenever working around a live battery.
IMHO my set up is much cleaner and safer then most of the battery that I see.
The FLs are better protected and have less strain on them, They don’t get moved around every time you mess with the battery.
A win win
Cheers
I know, when sad people are bored and have got nothing else in their life that's what they do, as I said I am done with this.Dave:
@Broski 's post was entirely sarcasm. He was combining information from multiple threads (that you may have missed in your absence) about thing that folks were bagging on him about.
I hope the TBI has not caused a loss of humor as well, as it frequently can.
Prayers for healing!
Just let @landtank be. He's egging you on like there's no tomorrow.
With any luck, no more busloads of Nuns and Kindergartners will be stranded, broken down, or killed due to faulty FL's or soft brakes, but someone here will have enough tools in their rig to get the bus back on track!
I'm hopping I see a fist fight at meetup because of this thread.Why are we in this basket and where are we headed?

I was mostly kidding. The only person I plan on fighting is @Somebodyelse5 , ( I will defiantly win by the way) but I'm waiting for him to get something besides mall cruiser.I don't do fighting (well not any more), I became more mature now and have been for.......well at least a couple of weeks.
