Battery clamp plate

[Nickysteveo]

Hi
Some numpkin has lost my battery clamp plate on my mk1. Luckily the long bolt is still there.
Does anyone know if the standard Renault clamp plate like one in the link will work okay on the mk1 Williams?

cheers
Nick

Looks right to me...but anyway for £6.50 go for it...

That’s the mk2 version so isn’t the same.

Yes from what I remember it doesn't look exactly the same but could work
need to apply something because the movement in the battery causes the engine to cut out
I don't think there is any other way of getting the original, has anyone got any ideas?

Maybe Mat Brown has one...

Recently the battery clamp nut sheared off on our car and I was unable to tighten the clamp on the positive cable. I went to the dealer for a replacement and found out that it is only sold with the cable at more than 85 and I really didnt want to cut the clamp off and use an Autozone one. I have a fix for this in case it happens to anybody else. VW sells one that works part# 6X0-915-138 and costs about 10. This worked on my positive cable, but it looks like it is the same on the negative.

Just came upon your site, in that I'm thinking of changing out my Motorhome batteries as well. I've got 4 golf cart 6V batteries, thinking of going with AGM this time. Wondering if I should add two more ( lovy.biz/zrsy ) as I have a residential fridge that tends to pull out many Ah's from my system. I'm new to this lifestyle, so a ton to learn...nothing for wifi or cell boosting yet, so as I say, lots to learn.
