I have a sloppy DAPO red positive wires and cheapo aftermarket positive battery terminal situation and would appreciate best solution to tidy these up, make better connections, etc.
This also makes me curious about how 4-6 wires were originally run to the positive battery terminal from the factory.  |

It's called a battery block positive terminal. At least that is what 914 Rubber calls it on their website. Idk if its available wnywhere else.

I hate those aftermarket battery terminals that clamp down on the cable.
This is my typical “aftermarket” solution. I change the connection block out for 1 with a stud. I put a ring terminal on the main battery cable going to the starter, and replace the connections on the red wires with insulted heat shrink connectors. In this case I also upgraded the cable going to the starter.  |

I went with these that I purchased from Amazon. Clean and tidy, well built. Just put the wires into the slots and use Allen wrench to lock in, no connectors to mess with. I think they were like 15 bucks if I remember correctly.
