I found a QR seatpost bolt for $1.15 on evilbay with free shipping.

I agree with Carlos that although nice, that's a bunch of exposed and charged metal, just waiting for something to touch to a ground.

@Carlos G : don't your jumper cables have a permanent quick connect? I have a set of connectors that I've been meaning to install for about 5 years now. I never get around to it....

Actually Jim, I think it would be a good fit if you want to remove your battery and easily adjustable.  I bought 4-1 shrink with really heavy wall and I use to fix different things where the cable will start to frey.  Shrinks downs really well around a form and Works like a charm  the wall is like thick plastic.  I stopped having to call Apple et al for replacment parts when I fixed the weak point. 

@David Stroud IM Roadster D   I bought some shrink stuff at princess auto but they usually have only the 2 to1 shrink... At Gervais Electronics you can find 3 to 1 and I think 4 to 1.  Allied as well might have it off Merivale. 

4 to 1 is not cheap.  I found a piece on AlieExpress from China, for not much money and I waited a bit to get it...  If you only need a bit I can give you some.

Thanks for the info, Ray. Don't need any right now but just needed to know where to get it when the time comes. I'm down around Gervais while visiting my Mom so I'll check it out. 

Just for laughs...Diotte Hydraulic is near Gervais. I needed new hydraulic lines for the relocation of the helm on my boat two years ago. I needed two runs of 24' with end fittings. I called around and got prices of $385 and $366. Diotte quoted $265. I gave them my Visa number and said I'd pick it up the next day. I got there and they had one hose ready for $265. I said no....I need two and that was told to the guy giving me the price. They asked but I couldn't remember his name. Much scrambling behind the desk. The owner came out and asked it I'd pay $300 cash for two and I had that exact amount in my wallet and gave it to him. He said come back in 1/2 hour. I said Shyt...no money now for lunch and he gave me $20 back. $20 gets one jug and some attention at a local nearby.....
