How would you convert the from these old terminals to the new one?
The old terminals have the wires clamped on by some sort of lug. The new terminals have a screw on type arrangement see pics below OLD TERMINAL Attachment: image_00182.jpg [ 65.8 KiB | Viewed 284 times ] NEW TERMINAL Attachment: image_00184.jpg [ 76.87 KiB | Viewed 203 times ]

undo the 10mm nut on the bolt, remove the 2 lugs. Put the new terminal on the battery terminal. Now place the 2 lugs over the threaded bolt and tighten down the wing nut.......
cheers............

check bonnet clearance first, IMO I wouldn't have chosen the ones with wing nuts, cause of this possiblity...
I have put "other" tpye on both mine and the missus car. just get a screwdriver to spread the exisiting clamp off the wires and just neaten them up and place in new clamp.

by the looks of his pics he will need the eyelets because they will go straight on the thread the wingnut is on. I would only cut them off if he had the other type.

I would just simply return the ones you brought and get these  but with the nut fitting not the screw type

I would just simply return the ones you brought and get these but with the nut fitting not the screw type they are the better option, and I would tin the wires with the solder for a great connection

How do you disconnect the wire from the eyelet?
I've tried prying it with a screwdriver, not working. Is cutting the wire the only way? cheers Attachment: image_00186.jpg [ 61.36 KiB | Viewed 242 times ]

I would just cut it off with a hacksaw or the fast way i did was use an angle grinder !
As for the material Gold is the best but expensive ! Next best thing is Copper followed by Aluminum !

im being cruel to be kind , you dont know what you are doing, pay 20 bucks and get a auto sparky to do it,the cars worth more, eg. fire , theft when its parked in the wrong place not going etc.
