Wanted, battery securing clamp.
As the title, my GT doesn't have one, and the engine earth strap is unnattached (I believe it should attach to the clamp securing bolt). I suppose I could bodge one together, but it's a special car so would like the real and proper thing

Re: Wanted, battery securing clamp.
These clamp on the base of the battery don't they? if so, I've used a Saxo one (couple of quid on Ebay) on the GS which was missing a clamp.

Ime sure the earth strap should not attach to the batt clamp bud, havnt seen a BX with that set up. Should attach to the bulkhead just below and to the side of the batt. Just cleaned up Sophie's and its made a magnificent difference and all the lights work so much better and the starter motor is much faster.
I did have a spare but had to use it on Sophie. however ime sure someone will have one and ime sure you realise its an MOT failure now to be without one.

Re: Wanted, battery securing clamp.
Erm, on all 4 of mine theres an earth strap with a lollipop end with a hole in it that fits round the bolt that holds the clamp tight against the battery itself.

Re: Wanted, battery securing clamp.
Dosnt seem to be any on mine Tim, the earth strap fits directly to the body along with 2 other lollipops. Its what i cleaned up on Sophie the other day. There was nothing on the batt holder and its not there on any of my BXsTim Leech wrote:Erm, on all 4 of mine theres an earth strap with a lollipop end with a hole in it that fits round the bolt that holds the clamp tight against the battery itself.

Re: Wanted, battery securing clamp.
It is not the main earth lead Andy, but a supplementary lead from the gearbox case to the battery clamp.
It is not fitted to either of my diesels but is on both of the GTi's I have and it was also fitted on the GT I had a few years ago.

None of my diesels have had this so I guess so.Tim Leech wrote:Probably just fitted to petrols then?
