I need a couple of those little lead (?) sleeves that fit on a car
bettery with smaller than standard terminal posts so that standard
size clamp on terminals can be used.

I've tried searching for 'car battery terminal sleeve' but didn't find
anything, is there some special name for them? Alternatively can
anyone suggest where I can buy some?

Didn't know such things existed.
I would probably grab an offcut of code 3 or code 4 lead, and
wrap it around, depending how much space needs to be taken up.

Maybe some of the names they use here, might be useful for your search:

If your battery terminals are square and you want to attach round clamps,
you need an adapter, likewise if they are the other way around.
Any car parts shop stock them, and there's millions on ebay.

I'm sure there used to be a device like a jubilee clip i with a terminal on
it. It looked to me like it had been plated by something dull and grey.
I know not much help....
It was on a lawn mower I used to have!
