Battery Earth Strap

[chefey]

The clamp on the earth strap is fully tightened and is not enough to tighten onto battery post, I assume the post on uk batteries must be marginally small, and new strap will probably be the same, battery is not old.  my  Mr2 was similar, but did tighten on to post.  Has anyone else had this problem?

Solution was so simple, problem was the coloured polarity washers not allowing clamp to go down far enough, will probably have more common sense when my broken arm is healed.

I ended up hammering the clamp to make it an oval then placed it on the battery post then lightly hammered and it's as tight as ever.
