Title: battery clamp update 15-12-2012
Post by: Andy on December 06, 2012, 11:03:57 pm

When i had my audio equipment fitted by a so called top firm in the North East they butchered and cut the orig clamp to put there own on to run the cable from the battery to the amps :fighting:
Wondering if any body has etka to have a look to see if you can buy the orig clamp the car came with :happy2:

Get a photo up?

Your best bet would be a breakers yard. Should be fairly cheap, however all breakers remove the battery so the clamp 'could' be anywhere  :sad1:
