One of my tradies just happened to have some spare Perspex so he was able to make up a shield for me, perfect and cost $0.00!

I'd go the PEGT or even some of polypropylene they make marine fuel tanks from if you can get your hands on some of that...

I'm thinking if you went to Bursons or Repco, they'd have no idea what you're trying to do, so don't know that they would be able to help, and most Audio shops dont care about positive post insulation when they change terminals in my experience, so wouldn't bother with an audio shop unless you know a very good one...


It's PETG ;) Use it all the time in model making cos it's easy to vac form and heat-mold

Hate to revive such an old thread but I found it really useful.

Just changed the terminals in the car today to large brass ones, new tray and battery fitted.

Went with a century 75d23l.

After gutting the red plastic terminal cover I managed to get it to fit back over the new positive terminal.

The size difference amazing.
