Haha yea mike I'm askin for a good shock I know. I usually lay them on the air cleaner but I took it off to get to the fitting

 

 

Anyway went to the hardware store and freaken win! Looked at brass pipe fittings at homedepot and turns out a 3/8 brass flare plug is perfect size and the threads are a perfect match! Got soo lucky on that one! Put one in the hole for the drive home haha

Here it is

12 volts is too low to feel. Even a 30 volt arc welder is barely a tingle. The pipe wrench will weld itself to the battery post and the vise grips. There's the remote chance even with the batteries of today that the sparks will ignite any hydrogen gas in and around the battery caps. I blew the top off a battery once giving a boost... acid in eyes and face. I had my glasses on and it was winter so lots of snow to wash the face with. My ears rang all that night.

Wow now I'll steer clear of the battery. Sounds like a 100 dollar mistake just waiting to happen

TOOLS ON BATERY = BAD IDEA

Yes tools and bettery bad idea. You'll be happy to know that I've started putting a outdoor table near my truck now and laying everything out on that. Allot more room and more organized

Digging up an old thread...

 

 

So did those 3/8" flare plugs work out? I figured they would be a pipe thread.

Just in case anyone visits this page as I have, 3/8" flare is the correct size.

 

I tried metric, bsp, bspt sizes and none were right. 3/8 flare fit like a glove
