    Could you not just swap them out for a different set of nuts and bolts. Pick up a box in halfords.

    I've got some of those square battery nuts, free of charge if you want them, PM me. :)

    They should have been supplied with the battery though??

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    You should have received these nuts with the battery - I know I did when purchasing the same battery from Halfords a while back. Go back and ask them
    They are a common nut on batteries and Halfords can probably supply them from another battery if necessary

    I've used hex nuts the odd time if I lost the square/rectangle nut and I was stuck. You can usually manage to slide it in.

    Did you go back to Halfords, tell them the nuts were missing and ask for replacements?

    As I said, you paid in previous for the complete battery, with the nuts. All Yuasa batteries come with the correct nuts.

    I am in the exact same boat as you now. Got the Yuasa but no nut with it. I have a few nuts but will need to file them to fit. Be interested to know how you ended up getting sorted in the finish?

    I bought 2 yuasa's in September, both had the nuts in them.

    They were with the bolts though.

    I took a dremel to nuts that were almost suitable to take off the edges and make them fit.
