Hey guys, does anyone know if the power terminal shown in the picture with the white arrow pointing to it available separately anywhere? The terminal is part of the engine harness, and it attaches to the fuse box by the battery.
If you can't find one, you are probably good with a more common circle connector as long as there's a metal backing plate that connects voltage to the other connections on the other nut
I would imagine so but I've never seen the raw terminal out there.
What are you trying to do?

I'm doing a full rewire of the Link ECU, and while I'm doing that I need to fix/undo much of the PO's power distribution mods. Battery is currently relocated under the passenger bin but it was a real kind of job. Not 100% sure how I'm going to deal with it yet - I'll either be redoing the battery relocation in the bins the RIGHT way, or reverting it back to the stock location and using a smaller (i.e., Miata) sized battery if my mock-up work tells me it will fit with the IC & AC plumbing.
Nope, that's the whole fuse block. You can get those on Amazon/Ebay and a few Mazda dealers for around $75-ish these days. Ray Crowe can probably get you a better deal.

That was plan "B". Because the cover won't fit over it when installed, you just can't stick a pair of standard crimp lugs on and bolt them down right where those bolt holes are. But you can easily fabricate a copper plate to bolt on where the holes are, and add holes on the plate for the cables & lugs to bolt on to just below where it would clear the plastic cover. Heat shrink any exposed copper on the cables/lugs below where it enters the fuse box and it would look & work rather OEM.
The entirety of the charge harness on the fd can be remade. If you deloom it, you will see just how simple it is. Get some 0 and 4 gauge wire along with the associated terminals. That's double terminal you're looking for is actually just 2 wires merged to one. I don't remember which 2. Maybe starter and alternator. If you remake the harness, you can just run the 2 separate wires and bolt them to 1 terminal each. It would be the same

It's very very easy, not many wires in that harness, can even improve on some stuff and remove what you don't need.
