jsd245 Posted May 19, 2023 Report Posted May 19, 2023 So when changing my battery cable on Big Ben of course I lost the starter terminal nut So I used the one from the other truck. Anyone know where to get one ? It's an over sized nut. Quote
JBNeal Posted May 20, 2023 Report Posted May 20, 2023 I asked my starter guy about this years ago, as I had seen the oversize nuts on various older starters but not consistently...he said that as long as there is a strong clean star lockwasher on the terminal, then the nut size does not matter, cuz all that nut is doing is maintaining good circuit continuity, not supporting the weight of the starter itself. I found some replacement NOS starter switches from the 70s awhile back, and they all had the normal size nuts, and they have worked fine for years. Quote
jsd245 Posted May 22, 2023 Author Report Posted May 22, 2023 I assume it’s a standard thread? Yes probably over thinking it, regular but should work fine I guess. Quote
