chefey Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 The clamp on the earth strap is fully tightened and is not enough to tighten onto battery post, I assume the post on uk batteries must be marginally small, and new strap will probably be the same, battery is not old. my Mr2 was similar, but did tighten on to post. Has anyone else had this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefey Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Solution was so simple, problem was the coloured polarity washers not allowing clamp to go down far enough, will probably have more common sense when my broken arm is healed.

PPod Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I ended up hammering the clamp to make it an oval then placed it on the battery post then lightly hammered and it's as tight as ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
