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?

that bolt seems too long, find another one the same size thats shorter and get rid of the wing nut, not necessary

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.

I have 2004 LS. your long (carriage) bolt and wing nut are definitely not OEM.
