M6 1.0 nut. Just bought one at orielys. Tested in lot. Fits perfect

[@x-coastie]

Great!

[@carlvarner709]

Thanks to your video I bought the slightly larger size NOCO GC008 M10 connector model which has bigger holes to fit around the ground screw.

Nice!

[@bowtie83ss]

Thank you for this video..helped me make sure what I wanted to do before doing it and missing something…

[@x-coastie]

No problem. Glad it helped.

Great video and nice convertible. Both my Camaros tend to run low charge quite often.

[@x-coastie]

Thanks! I’d love to have two!

How many miles are on your car? Looks exceptionally clean under the hood. Mine is clean but not that clean and I have 14k on my 17 SS…… I will be adding a trickle charger as well.

I had to sell the car a year ago. It had 45000 miles on it then. What a great car!

Very good video. I have now also connected it via the fuse box. Although I had to use an already occupied positive pole. There is a slightly thinner cable connected with 12V. But is this the safe way to charge the battery? I'm a little scared about the control unit. Best regards, Marco

[@x-coastie]

Thanks!

M6-1.25 POSITIVE BOLT FOR STUD, I POSTED VIDEO, THANKS FOR THE HELP

[@x-coastie]

Glad it helped.

I looked at Home Depot, Lowes, Advanced Auto, and atrackte supply. None of those places carried a M6 1.25 in stock. Lol. Where do I find those things??

[@untouchCR]

@@keithecklundii5225 UAP/NAPA autoparts in Québec, Canada. I am shure NAPA is in the USA too. Hope you can find wherever you are

[@conductorjohnmthtrains2239]

I called Ace they said the M6 is a 1.0 not 1.25? M8 is 1.25 that's what the dude told me

[@alandinsmoorcontractingser7119]

Probably better off dropping the charge cable thru the bottom of the car...now you don't have to worry about someone doing you a favor an closing your hood..that'll make you a nice fire

[@x-coastie]

Gotcha

[@westbeats2050]

I pull my charge thru the holes in the hood

[@x-coastie]

Gotcha!

[@markjordan9357]

Trickle charger? Come on man...just buy a new battery.

[@x-coastie]

The trickle charger was to keep it charged. I only drove the car one a month to 6 weeks. Plus there’s no harm having one.
