    thanks I'll get some pics up soon and hopefully i can replace the clamp with something that can be purchased at a local parts store. I have searched high and low for the T-bolt and can't find one anywhere.

    I busted mine long time ago in a fit of over-tightening. It actually did not take much to snap. My local SA was kind enough to find one for me at no charge. And no, I was not able to find one to buy and the parts department was trying to sell me the whole harness for about the price of a new car.

    I suppose that i could just get the neg side cable and since all i really need is the BOLT and it's about $300 CHEAPER!!!!:idea:

    Has anyone been brave enough to replace the factory clamp with something else?

    Cut it off, and replace it with a regular terminal connector. Autozone Has them on the shelf.
