jim205GTI 3 Posted January 31, 2007 On making a better connection for the solenoid feed, ie crimping new ring connector on, i managed to lose the nut which tightens on the solemnoid and so now can't make a good connection ..... Was wondering if anyone knew the size of the thread so i can get a new nut for it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 99 Posted January 31, 2007 It's just a standard M8 (8x1.25), one of the few bolts on a pug that's a normal size! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jim205GTI 3 Posted January 31, 2007 cool but we are on about the same connection here, i know my wording isn't very good.... the connection i am on about comes from the engine loom and on to the starter rather then the battery - starter - alternator big thick wire just want to double check Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 99 Posted January 31, 2007 Oops, got my wires crossed there. My starter has a spade connector for the connection to the loom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted January 31, 2007 Jim, the good news is that afaik it can be either M4 or M6. I have two starters that need the ring terminal & a nut to hold them on, both are different sizes. The one I haven't fitted yet is definately M6 but the one I fitted yesterday was smaller & I think it was M4. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
