Just get some new leads made up or extend the originals. simples :)

Fitting the correct battery would help rather than buggering about with leads. Obviously the ones he has been sold are the wrong terminal layout. It's not bloody rocket science.
 
Try battery megastore (on line) Alphaline 135AH 1000 about £98 delivered, it's the biggest that will fit and the terminals are in the correct place.
 
I got one o them big batterys fa megastore ,the one on the car was good ,but the new one is very good.night n day,but iv see one wi 1100 cca,but 1000cca is good enough for me...
