<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi William;<br>
<br>
I haven't seen any standard really. I noticed that HUPs switched
from 5/16" hardware to 1/4". I'm old school like you, and prefer
5/16" hardware, however I think if you look at the lbs of
compression that the 1/4" bolt can provide, it's still a fine
connection. The bolt shouldn't be carrying much current; the
mating surfaces of the lags and flag terminals should.<br>
In your case, I'd just drill out the holes to 5/16". I have a
small receiver mounted vice that works well for those sort of
"field adjustments". <br>

replaced a set of 24 IBE batteries recently. The original
set had all batteries with captive cables (and one flag)
except one, which had two flags. This made it easy to
connect the leads from the BOS: there was a flag on the
positive and negative ends. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span

the flags had all 5/16” holes but when we untapped the lugs
on the cables, the holes were ¼”. We are very used to using
5/16” SS bolts and that is what we had in stock. I am not
comfortable using ¼” battery bolts. Is there a standard for
battery bolts?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
