Favorit battery clamp (bolts snapped)

Featured Replies

The two bolts on my Favorit battery clamp have been snapped off for ages and have been held on using 3 of these

which has actually worked quite well and they rarely work loose, and only attracted an MOT advisory notice once.

I was wondering if anyone else's battery clamp bolts had suffered the same fate and had any better suggestions on clamping the battery in.

Erm new bolts i mean a bolt and nut are not that hard to get surely?

The heads of the bolts snapped off leaving the threaded bit stuck in. There appears to be nuts welded to the underside of the tray. Guess I've got nothing to lose by trying to drill them out - but not sure there's enough clearance to put a nut and bolt through on the left with the welded nut in place as the brake servo bracket is directly beneath it.

A couple of big cable ties will hold it and as lond as they are tight , will be ok for mot
