Wondering if anyone has had any luck purchasing a pair of aftermarket battery terminal connectors.
Sadly our Holden dealership closed and I don't want to go through ebay.
I also want to reuse the parts that connect to the connector as per the second picture.

Update - 21.09.19 the new battery fitted and a perfect fit, it's like those SCA terminals were specifically made to suit the Commodores connections. Its been 6 weeks since I last started the Commodore and after I turned on the key she fired up straight away.

Only one you will get from Auto shops are the wing nut ones, if you want original ebay or wreakers.

Go to any battery place and buy these heavy brass ones that use a bolt threaded into them, not the type with the wing nut as it is common for the wing nut to work loose over time. They come in positive and negative sizes and are marked in the casting. This is on my VX.

Rubbish....you can get stainless steel ones which have a 10MM bolt that goes through a hole within the terminal...No picture sorry, but if you look at auto parts shops you'll find them....They're about $25 a pair

I did, I looked at all 3 major auto stores, what's wrong with a brass one anyway just remove the wingnut on the upright pole and put a nut on it instead.

Not saying anything is wrong with the brass ones....I was saying rubbish to that being the only one available.....And if you tried 3 major auto stores, they need to update their stock....Mine came from Sprint Auto parts and I reckon I've seen them in autobarn and super cheap
