Default Negative cable

Hello,

Can you guys show how your negative cable looks on you LS 430. I recently got my LS and the negative cable looks like this:


The plastic cover won't close because of the wing nut. What would I need to make back to OEM again?

Looks the same as my Negative clamp but with a different bolt and nut.
The Positive uses a different much more complex clamp.
With a shorter bolt the black plastic cover should fit over it like this one (not my pic, found on Google Image Search)

Terminal is correct, bolt / wingnut is not.
