This one could work if you filed the bolt bosses off and filled the holes with solder ( or brass braze ??

Those are like the ones I got on my trip to England in 2019.  The have a raised block section with the 'P' and or 'N' engraved in that.

Chris,

 

You probably want to hold off on that.

 

It appears I was WRONG in my description of what I got from Vincent.  I have not installed the negative cable on the Mk II yet, so I dug it out of the shed this afternoon for a close-up look-see.  The letter “N” is NOT raised.  It looks raised in the photographs, and from across the room, but close up, it appears to be cast into a raised pedestal on the top of the terminal.

 

I remain delighted with it, and am glad to have it, and the positive terminal as well. But they are clearly not “proper” for a stock application.

 

Im sorry I got everybody excited about a thing that isn’t.

 

Ramon

I sent mail to Vincent asking if he could make some more Tiger cables.  I just got a message back from Vincent:

Sure.  We'd be happy to if I can source the correct parts.  We got lucky finding those terminals. I'll check on Monday.

I just sent him mail saying that we're really looking for the positive cable having the raised P as well. It doesn't sound like he's making them.
