I almost hate to post again but decided to try my hand at building a battery box with the large connector...

Since my 807, 808 & 809 all are in excellent or better couldn't bring myself to change the connector(s), came out OK-ish(should have taken construction picts but that thought came too late)... I used a piece of ¼" plywood to fasten two triple boxes, connectors screwed directly into wood using ¾" 2-56 machine screws, tightened without issue... Thinking if I do another I'll cut out the center and add nuts... Better yet would be use plastic or similar, I have a few pieces of laminate flooring that may work...

I'd built a adapter from large to small connector but it proved too thick when mounted on box...
