Great connectors, all the trucks at work have them for the trailer tail lifts, flat battery no problem, a long pair of leads, turn up in another truck, connect up, jump start and away you go all in a minute or two.

Fitted them to all my cars a few years ago for jump starting and running compressor, also good for charging the battery.


Many thks Thumbs Up

Have been looking at the links that have kindly been shared ref Anderson connectors/ covers , will remove the front grill and see if I have a bracket of some sort in the shed I’m able to utilise for the Anderson connector

The past few months am well chuffed as everything is now all coming together with the disco

As always am so very grateful Bow down

Also reminds me ref connectors

The picture is just for reference but has the connector identification section been removed from the one-drive workshop manuals plse , as before u could look in a wiring diagram then find the relevant connector

Many thks as always Bow down Thumbs Up

I'd guess that if you were to make your own, you could make it as an exact fit for whatever location you are (eventually Whistle ) going to mount it ?
