That works too.....but that was the best position i found for it so the wires fit without me having to undo or move them around.

Go to your local hardware store and get the posts that look like this:



Take a drill and drill a hole through the top into the bottom. Buy some 1.5-2 inch screws that will go through the post to the battery and screw it in place. Instant $4 fix.

When u get the battery it comes with two little gold screw tops. Take one and go to the auto parts store with it so you can match up the screw that would fit. THis is to make it easy so you dont' have to drag the whoel battery with you.

Good LUck!

I also think you can just use these:

^^ I went to Murray's tonight and couldn't find any posts. I'll try out Napa and Autozone tomorrow.

And in case anyone wants to know, the size of the screw/hole is M6 x 1.0

Use some of the money you saved and buy the nice brass terminals..That's what I did.

If you really are cheap, you can use brass plumbing plugs 3/8" and 1/2" and drill them out while you are waiting for the real ones to come...I did and then replaced these with the normal terminals.

Man here I just bought some injen piping to go around the stock battery. Oh well great find and info. Those mini battery kits are a little steep for most. But they sure are purty.
