Projecta BT142H-P1 Positive Heavy Duty Bolt Brass Battery Terminal, Blister of 1

Quick answer

The Projecta BT142H-P1 is the Positive Heavy Duty Bolt Brass Battery Terminal, Blister of 1. A single heavy duty bolt terminal for the positive post, packed on its own for single repairs.

Heavy duty pattern, so it suits thicker starter and dual battery cable.

Stud size is listed as 3/8 inch or 10 mm. Lugs are held by a nut on the bolt, so tighten it with a spanner and it stays put. Forged brass conducts well and copes with the heat and vibration of an engine bay.

Positive posts are slightly larger than negative posts, so fit this one only to the positive side. Clean the post back to bright metal before fitting, and coat the joint once tightened.

After fitting, a thin smear of terminal grease or spray protector slows corrosion. Measure the post and the cable before ordering; a terminal that is too big for the post will never clamp properly. Tighten firmly but do not crush the post; a lead post deforms easily. Keep the positive covered so a spanner cannot bridge it to the body.
