Default Concern of positive batt electrode

I have always been concerned about the positive battery electrode on my battery being really close to the body and a/c. I have the racetronix brass electrodes and they make the issue even worse. I feel that if the battery tips somehow itll start a fire or whatnot. Ive heard of it happening in auto-x, unsure of the car type.

Is there anything i can/should do to insulate this so it is no longer an issue?

None issue. I have a longer electrode for my nitrous accessories. Ther is a bolt on the frame in front of battery. Buy a coarse strip of metal. Drill holes in the two ends. Secure one side under the bolt. Take a long j bolt. Hook it in under the battery tray. Then. Put a wing nut to support the other end of the metal bracket youve made. The battery will not move again.
