    Thanks for the clarification Tom.   I've found that my start batteries are also bad, so now working with O'Reilly's as you suggested and wanting the blade-type terminals instead of the round posts.    Is the attached image what you're using?   Assuming they fit in the battery well, I'm uncomfortable with the need for new critical insulation of the terminals near the stainless steel wall.

Cheers,
