Hi whilst fitting my leisure battery, the stud on one of my new battery terminals simply wound out. I was only using a 1/4 drive ratchet and minimul force. It was only threaded into the main part a couple of threads and then glued. This could be extremely unsafe. If you are buying new terminals beware.IMG_3240.JPG
 
where did the terminals come from . . . VW OEM or 3rd party?
 
3rd party, I have e mailed them to advise of the quality. Now I have M8 countersunk right through, ain't going anywhere. I pulled the neg stud out with not much more effort so I modded the pair in case.. No point getting replacements probably all the same so made my own improved version.
