Looking for battery post covers

Anyone have any ideas on where to find or make something to cover or protect the battery posts? I guess there are too many large wires for regular size covers.

Thanks
Pete

OK, why do you need them I haven't run into any problems even after adding various other wires to them.

I know a couple of times I inadvertently rested my elbow on the positive battery post and touched a wrench to an engine part. Needless to say, the wrench went flying across the driveway.

Don't need them just a little extra safety. Haevn't had a truck or car in a long time that doesnt have them on the Pos. I did accidently touch my tranny dipstick to it the other day. Didn't hurt anything, but put a little etch on the stick and a little excitement. Also, when leaning over batteries working on engine my old brain may forget and short a wrench or belt buckle.

Check a marine supply store. They usually carry that sort of thing.

Try autozone, they have a rubberized coating that you "paint" over the batter post and exposed wires to protect them from corrosion.
