But my wife smacks me across the head every time I tootle...

I use a folded over wire tie like a small spring to hold the nut in place - this is a good idea though
Careful with that..... check that longer bolts do not penetrate the top of the battery when fully tightened. If you have a few additional connections on the battery, might get lucky.All good ideas....but....I just use the correct length bolt instead
