Battery Positive Cable Ends

#1 Post by Brett Johnson »

Okay, I must admit to knowing absolutely nothing about these. The late, great Richard Miller put this illustration together back when there were a lot more 356s that had yet to be dismantled/restored for the first time. Obviously, this is a commonly replaced item that didn't survive well. Can anyone with authentic cars comment on the drawing and add other data points or configurations?

My 64 T6 Cabriolet, 160578, is the same as the 1964 coupe and the 1962 T6 Roadster shown.

Brett:
Per your diagram, photos of my battery clamp from 1957 #83522 for your reference. I replaced it b/c it was "wore out." But I kept it just in case... looks similar to your diagram. I hope this helps.
