Well I got my Optima yellow top the other day and just started to install it today and the thing isn't working with me.
When I put the battery in the proper position with the terminals closest to the wires, the + and - terminals are opposites. An easy solution is to cross the wires and I'm set right?

Nope, the + wire reaches fine, but the - wire doesn't reach all the way across.
Below are the two grounding locations for the - wire.

So, I turned around the battery with the terminals facing the other direction (the + and - were lined up and both reached). But another problem is that the battery tie down (aftermarket and stock) doesn't fit right and I can't get it to stay.
Two solutions:
1. Extend the grounds so it will reach.
2. Buy a different battery tie down.
Any ideas/suggestions before I start hacking away or buy a new tie down? :mad:
