Sprite and I never liked the way this worked.</FONT><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"><FONT size=3> </FONT></SPAN><FONT size=3>The
cables were too thick, being sized to the Anderson terminals and rather than get
smaller (internally) Anderson terminals, and thinner cable I just pressed ahead
and produced something I never liked the look of every time I lifted the
bonnet.</FONT><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"><FONT size=3>
</FONT></SPAN><FONT size=3>Eventually I ordered the correct size Anderson
terminals but then left them to one side while I pondered the cable runs for
several years and so I had more of a never started, than an unfinished,
project.</FONT><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"><FONT size=3>

size=3> </FONT></SPAN><FONT size=3>About a year ago I was looking for a new
car battery for the Sprite.</FONT><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"><FONT
size=3> </FONT></SPAN><FONT size=3>I found several that were what I
wanted, but nearly all had small/Japanese terminal posts which would have meant
replacing battery clamps etc.</FONT><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"><FONT
size=3> </FONT></SPAN><FONT size=3>Eventually, following a lot of internet
searching I found a good battery that did have regular size terminal
posts.</FONT><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"><FONT size=3>
</FONT></SPAN><FONT size=3>However, when I went to buy and collect it I found
that while it did have regular size terminal posts it turns out it was a small
terminal post battery with hollow lead cones tapped on top!</FONT><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"><FONT size=3> </FONT></SPAN><FONT size=3>Fast
forward to the Anderson project which is to replace the super fat wiring with an
appropriate size wiring, more to get things to look right than save
weight.</FONT><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"><FONT size=3>
</FONT></SPAN><FONT size=3>I decided I might as well convert to the small
terminals at this time since I’d need to replace the battery clamps
anyway.</FONT><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"><FONT size=3>
</FONT></SPAN><FONT size=3>One thing lead to another and I ended up doing a
bunch of tidying up on the job which slowed me down including work to the
Anderson fixing bracket, painting it, doing the earth lead twice since I wasn’t
happy with how it turned out the first time.</FONT><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"><FONT size=3> </FONT></SPAN><FONT size=3>I’ve
also decided to sleeve the live lead in clear plastic tubing for extra
insulation which will be a follow up job.</FONT><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"><FONT size=3> </FONT></SPAN><FONT size=3>Since I
weigh everything I replace in the never ending quest for weight saving I’d
figured on maybe saving a 100g or so on this job but in fact saved 540g which
was a massive bonus.</FONT></FONT><o:p></o:p></P></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
