Jumping a side post battery
Even though I have cables with side post teeth, i can't seem to get a good grip on that tiny battery terminal nut. I was thinking about slipping a cable terminal lug in between the existing cable terminals and clamping on to that when using jumper cables. Question is, will I get enough metal to metal contact at the bolt holes?

I wouldn't. It makes it easier for battery acid, etc. to get in there and cause corrosion. I would use a longer bolt and put a spacer on the outside of the terminal instead. Or use some of those extended terminals designed for adding winches, amps, etc.

Makes for a good place to wire up accessories to as well, like the aforementioned winch and stereo stuff

I think the problem lies in the connectors but they are not easy to clean. Suggestions welcome.
