what's a battery stopper?

[spikedjack]

the clamp martin:)

[corsa_ash_sxi]

its a bit of plastic that is screwed down next to the battery to stop it from moving when driving but its a pain in the ass to put it back where it came from

[corsa_ash_sxi]

ne top tips to put it back on

[spikedjack]

1/4"ratchet and an extension bar

Surprisingly your battery won't slide about as the cables attached are that stiff and hold it in place.

ayp mate. found this a few times mate with these batterys on the corsa. if it just spins and doesnt tighten up then wot i've dun in the past is used a 3/8 air gun and razzed it up wiv tht. u dont want to over tighten it just nip it up. the power of the gun gets straight to the point and tightens it up. whereas using a rachet by hand doesnt always work.either a 3/8 air gun or half inch air gun but DO NOT have on full power or you will damage it all together then.

like i said a quater inch drive rachet with an extrension bar will do nicely

i've just left mine loose, i was tightening it for about 45mins wiv a bloody spanner only to then realise the new battery i'd bought it too small to fit between the brackets and it still moves about! god i'm so blonde!

on a good note tho u cant even tell its loose, no bangs or rattles!

Mines it totally loose as i had to lever the clamp and battery right out with a power bar! My battery does rattle about a fair bit and keeps pulling my power cable and fuse apart... very safe :nono:
