Thanks for the suggestion
You're welcome!
My concern is that if you loosen that nut to put the eyelet under it you'll lose contact and defeat the purpose of your effort. I can't tell for sure because the clamp is in the way, but you probably even have enough thread on the top bolt of the positive terminal for the eyelet and another nut. I think it's 10mm. It just has to grab for a little while, you don't need to thread all the way through the nut. If you don't have enough thread, do you have any old device that plugs into the cig lighter that you could sacrifice its plug? If so, cut it off and splice it onto that pigtail you found in the box.
