Hi, I have a gel battery with spade terminals. Does anyone know if you can get these in the UK? Found loads in the US....

Well, yes kind of - except that I have a perfectly good set of battery leads from the donor car, and the geometry of post fittings works better.
I plan to use those as a fall back!

These are similar

Yes - seen a fair few of those. I guess some delicate attention with a file, drill and tap would sort them.

Or you could make them vertical with a couple of brass angle brackets...

Hi

Make up some battery leads with the correct sized terminals crimped on to them, or buy pre made leads:

NB Merlin Motorsport will also make up leads.
