photo of stock + battery terminal?

[37yrold911]

Does anyone have a photo they can post of a stock battery terminal (positive)?

Thanks!

That part is available from Sierra Madre

I see the Pelican thread shows the SWB terminal, the LWB terminal is slightly different.

I just replaced both batteries, + terminals and ground straps in July. Got all the parts from the local Porsche dealer.

I'll take a pic of the LWB terminal and post it later today.

The LWB terminal has provision for two battery cables to be clamped in, the SWB only one.

Here's a couple of pics of the LWB + Terminal

Thanks, all. Any idea how wide that LWB terminal is?

I'm looking to find a vinyl type cover for the + terminal (I am using an Optima battery).

I've also heard that these clamp-on terminals are not as good electrically as the ones that solder on. True?

You are correct that the original terminals (clamp type) will not have "as good" a connection as a solder-on style. Over time, the clamp-on style will corrode faster than a solder style because it allows air to react with the copper at the connection. But, the clamp-on is a stock connector for LWB as JRBennett noted.

So every couple years you remove the cables wire brush them clean and reinstall. Have you ever tried to solder that large of a cable to a ring connector? You won't do it with the normal small soldering iron. Pep boys have the vinyl rubber protectors to put over the positive cable clamp.
