Before I lie in the passanger foot well with a spanner and a pair of calipers, does anyone know the size of bolt used on the battery terminals?

I need to get a couple of eye crimp connectors so I can fix a perminent connector for a battery conditioner...

TIA!

The spanner is the easy part! It's knowing the size of the eye on the crimp connector.

I guess I'll be able to prvide the answer in the morning...

It's the size of the shank I'm after!

I've lots of spanners so the nut size is not a problem.

I need to get a couple of eye connectors to put on the bolt to make an electrical connection.

Survey (of 1) says 8mm.

I've got a ciggie lighter adapter and the conditioner is now doing it's thing.

As the largest crimp eye I can find is 6.7mm (just over 1/2") I'll have to drill a couple out so I can fit the perminant conditioner connector.

More searching comes up with Maplin part CN93B - a pack of two gold plated 8 mm crimp ring terminals. Intented for the ICE market but just the job for me.
