Default Battery "NUTS"

No this is not a dead battery post, today it was raining so I put some wax etc on her and was going to plug in my C-Tek and cover it back up when I noticed that the positive cable was corroding. I took it off cleaned it and reinstalled, then noticed that it would not tighten down. When I installed my C-Tek to the post I lost one of the nuts and replaced it with a regular nut, thus the reason for it being loose, The nuts on the clamps are ex-cave on the bottom so that they will tighten the clamp. There is no place that I know of to get those "NUTS" except dealer or mail order. So the brain started to go into overdrive and I thought that they looked like a feral for a brass air coupling, so I found a 1/4" feral and put it under the nut and glory be it worked. Moral of the story is if you can not make it work you can Obama it.
