OEM Battery Tie Down Disease?? Anyone have/had this?
Hey Guys,
While doing my normal check up on fluids and stuff, etc. etc., I noticed that my battery tie down was literally rotting away. So I starred at it and thought it might be the heat circulating in the engine bay that caused the Batt. Tie down to rott away. I check'd the terminals and all is fine and uncorroded.So any experienced this before? Ill just get a new one. So here's some pics.
TIA,
walt

What kind of coke?? "Columbian Coke??" j/k Well I'll have to go buy those felt pads or try the vaseline method. Anyone did the penny method were you place a few pennies near the positive terminal which will draw the corrosion away from the terminals?
