This list has been way to quiet so I have a question of those of great
wisdom and knowledge..
In the BJ7/8 parts book in the electrical section one can find an
illustration showing the original battery cables.
Upon close inspection one will note that here is something odd about the
-ve helmet battery terminal connector. It has a sort of vertical tube cast
into the side of the connector.
I have found this to be the case on all the original Lucas terminals of
this type.
My Cooper S has one, my MGBGT has 2 (it has 2 batteries).
What is the purpose of that tube thingee?
It is only on the -ve connector, surely if it was designed to assist in
removing a seized connector it would be on both ?
It seems very elaborate to be an identification mark !
Curious minds await suggestions.
