I have put back my original Lucas helmet head battery cable connectors in my 
BJ8. They work fine initially, but when the car is not driven for a while, the 
starter motor fails to crank. If you clean then quickly...all is fine again. 
Are there modern products that can reduce or prevent the oxidation that occurs 
between the helmet connector and the battery terminal, between uses? Perhaps 
the fit is not as tight, as with older battery styles.

Any suggestions appreciated.
