Question Is it possible to put the CTEK ring terminals on a Side Post

Hello. I have a CTEK charger, and I was wondering if it was possible to put the CTEK ring terminals on a Side Post? 3/8

You can use a pair of these.

You could also possibly put the harness on the back of the alternator (battery terminal) and one of the mounting bolts, or any place else that connects to the battery, like the big battery cable stud on the fuse box.

​​​​​​Ahh, yes. I've had these before.. on my 93 and 94.

I forget.. I can simply screw the screw all the way out of the positive and negative Side Posts and then screw this back in, through the red and black piece, and touch the metal, then I have my posts? Is that how this goes? No need to change the cable? Again, I forget.

And Thank you so much

Yup, that's exactly how it works. If you're careful and don't break contact at the battery while you're doing it, you won't even lose your radio presets, clock setting, etc.
