Default I cracked my battery terminal clamp

It was cold, I unplugged the battery to rip a bunch of electronic crap out that I didn't need anymore, and when I tightened it, the little metal piece that is kinda hooked onto the battery clamp cracked. That piece can be replaced, but I don't know if you can without buying the whole clamp. I'm assuming it's not that hard to pry open the clamp ends and pull it off, and crimp a new one on, but I'd rather just get the little piece that hooks onto the clamp where the screw goes into.

It's on there for now, but needs to be replaced. I won't be able to remove the battery again without it completely falling apart.

Do any of you know if you can buy a standard GM battery cable clamp in the store, or is that a custom-order thing? I don't even know if the H3 one is special, or if GM uses the same ones.

I'd post a pic of all the stuff I took out, but I don't want to hear any crap

OK OK.

This is mostly my old GPS and laptop wiring I removed since I entered the 90's and bought a real one

I also removed my FM Modulator for my MP3 player

With all due respect Bro, that isn't nearly as bad as I expected.

I remember back when I first started on this forum, you pretty much had half of the Crutchfield catalog installed on your dashboard......

Well, the GPS reciever showed in that mess does have a strong magnet to hold it onto the roof
