gerlewislewis 0 Posted April 11, 2008 I have just fitted a new starter motor, and it has spade connectors, but my negative cable is a ring-type connector (nut and bolt kind). How can I change the rgin connector to fit the spade? are spades of various sizes readily available from some where? Any help appreciated. Thanks Geraint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey G 3 Posted April 11, 2008 Negative cable? Are you on about the solenoid trigger wire? If so just cut it of and crimp on a standard female terminal, normally blue and advertised as an insulated 6.3mm female connector. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerlewislewis 0 Posted April 11, 2008 Its a golf starter motor. Thats the one I think, not the main cable the secondry one. a standard female terminal sounds about right. Where can I get one of these connectors? - Halfords? Motorfactors? Cheers Mikey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikey G 3 Posted April 11, 2008 Normally in little blister packs in any motorfactors or even Halfords for a few pennies, or if you want to take a drive up to me i have a jar full of them but i think your petrol would cost more than the cost of the terminals...
