Hey guys, when i disconected my battery i had to take off the special bolt and nut to get the terminal off

i am now missing that specialty bolt with the U bottom and chamfered edges

anyone have a part number or where to get one?

thanks!

 

Here is the battery ground terminal cable for your MINI:

Has the T nut on the end.

There is no part number for the T end on the MINI /BMW side I see.


I did find a similar one on the VW side. 19mm. Some of the BMW take the same one. Match it up to your old one design. If it does not work. Then the whole cable is above.

Edited - someone pointed you in the right direction

 

awsome, thanks, i really dont want to buy the whole cable =)

although that VW doesnt seem like its gunna work

 

The local auto parts place ( real one...aka NAPA, etc not the big box orange/red place) should have something that will work....might not be exactly the same...but some parts are all about function...and a good counter person is priceless in this situation.

 

PS....
A new end of a more conventional desgin can be put on the old cable....pretty simple...often there are boxes of these parts near the battery area....

 

You are welcome.

Salty - do you have a better pic of it to compare, just the T part.

 

best picture i can find, its not mine, but the VW one looks very different on the bottom

**edit** looks the same as some bmws, cant find that part # either

 

Thanks

Yea, it bulges inward on the bottom of the ship anchor. I don't see anything like that version, just the VW one that bows inward.

 

thanks ECS for trying, i may need to fab somehting up myself , buy the whole assembly, juryrig it or find a spare on a spare car

 

Aloha! Last year, I stopped at our Honolulu MINI parts department. The parts guy had a bunch of the T-ends. He actually gave me one at no charge! His comment was that their mechanics go through them quite often. Wouldn't hurt for you to call/check with your dealership.

'06 MCS, '05MC

 

yeah i can prolly give them a call, they are a bit far away from me

 

If he has a bunch, it must be orderable? Anything. On eBay?
