Does anyone know of a way to extend the Neg, connection on the front strut ?You know the thread size and count ? I am thinking some sort of extension on the stub for a better grip from the jumper cable, Do I make any sense I suck at explaining by typing lol Thanks
Something like this but with out the exposed threads, but the threads can be cut off with no problem if needed . Never knew that strut lug was there for the neg, connection till I read it here :) Still learning new things about the HHR :)

If you have to jump the car that often I'd figure out why, first... But that's just me.

As far as some contraption in that location I would use a large cable end trapped under the nut.

I bent a bit of metal with a hole in it, put it under the nut. It was a scrap piece left over from some electronics mounting kit.

Makes you wonder why they bother putting stickers with arrows under the hood.

Spare parts bin. A piece of old bracket bent 90 degrees to stick up. A 2nd nut to hold it tight since there was enough threads above the strut nut.
Haven't needed to use it but it's there just in case.

If your Jumper Cables have the correct shape on the clamp ends you won't need anything.
I had you look around at several different Brands of Cables to find the right shape on the clamp ends.
If correct, the clamp tip will go right on the ground nut.
I have used mine twice with no issues.

Do something like Gray Beard or Fireman George and you now can sleep at night.
Don't over think the wheel.

Whatever you do, I would gold plate it......conducts electricity better.

Firemangeorge must be using my junk drawer.

Almost had a heart attack; rust and sand under your hood!

Dang it Don. I tried to post a washed out, blurry pic so you wouldn't notice the dirt. My poor old SS doesn't get the attention like it used to. Mostly just sits in the garage and collects dust and 'ages".

George I like that Thanks ! So far I have never had to jump start my HHR :) I still have the 2011 OEM Battery in her :OSO my guess I may need a jump someday lol.. I figure I will change the battery soon just because :) I try and fix things bfore I have a bigger issue :)
