    Hello everyone I am changing the stock battery tray hold down battery posts clamps to a modern new aftermarket custom tray hold down and posts clamps. I need advice on recommendations and tips on how to change the stock battery accessories to an upgrade aftermarket accessories'' dressings on the complete battery kit. Especially on the clamps cables were I have the long extension clamp holders from the post's clamps to the wires.

    I don't understand the issue you're having at all. Maybe a picture to clarify what you're struggling with?

    I upgraded the battery hold-down with this:

    ARONOVA Heavy Duty Battery Hold... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGS351GJ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

    and all I had to customize was cutting the vertical poles to the right height and adding a decal.

    Oh, upon re-reading I think you want to change your battery terminals and you're asking how to connect the wires?

    Out of curiosity, what did you use to cut the poles? An angle grinder? I still haven't trimmed mine.

    I used some bolt cutters but a Dremel or angle grinder would do.

    I believe you can cut with the angle grinder.

    Yes you're right is the wires to the post's clamps.
