Adapter kit?

Whip

Noun - Car

When the steering wheel was first put into use in automobiles, it was called the whip. The term has now been generalised to classify any automobile.

It's 2 bits of plastic that clip in underneath battery to raise it and allow the golf battery clamps to hold it securely  and stop it moving.

I managed to order 2 kits by mistake when I got my Bosch.

Oh I see. Got a link?

075 is the biggest we can fit, right?

It says it would on my reg but it does seem on the large size.  Would definitely measure it.

I'm a skinflint so got the 063 but I think most people recommend the 075 especially for the power hood - mine has been fine thou. Car had been sat for 6 weeks and it cranked it no bother.  Incidentally Euro took about a week for their next day delivery.

063 is half price at minute but Euro's "sales" do appear to be perpetual like DFS's

I fitted an 075 Yuasa from www.tanya.co.uk they were cheaper than Euro/GSF. It's black with red, which matches the rest of my car.
