    I was checking the oil in my new to me 05 GT today and noticed strange battery cable clamps I have never seen before. It appears to have a vertical upside down bolt with a nut that somehow squeezes the clamp together. How does this work? Headed out and about soon and don't wont to unhook the cables to figure it out.

    You just loosen the nut and it releases the terminal. I'm not sure exactly how it closes the clamp but it is easier to get at being it's on top.
