    just thinkin - standard old style lead post clamp - vs - newer strap style clamp . any major plus's or minus's ? i kinda like the newer style for certain reasons but can't really remember any negatives , if any . breakage ? current flow ? not worried about resto correct or anything , just functionality .

    In my experience the old lead ones always get overtightened and then get stuck, forcing the use of tools in ways not intended!! I know I overtighten them too.. The new ones seem to come off easier IMHO..

    yes - that's exactly my impression i guess . i mean if they conduct juice just as well - why not .
