Title: Where can I get a battery post clam shell cover?
Post by: EDNY on March 30, 2013, 10:50:33 AM

Been on line and just got back from our local salvage yard.  Trying to locate a clam shell type of "top post" battery post cover. Looking for the design where the cover is placed on the post, then the battery clamp is attached and the protective cover snapped closed.

My top post battery (can't use a side post or marine cover) is real close to my fuel cell, want to prevent the possibly of a wrench for example falling into contact with the fuel cell and pos battery post. The battery and fuel cell will be separated by a truck mudflap...just want the extra piece of mind. 

BTW: The battery installs from the bottom and the ground cable must be removed before the battery drops.  I can find those slip over covers..but want something more protective. I'll be insulating those fuel pump connections shortly.

Have any ideas?
