Does anyone know the thread size for the small post ( ignition switch ) Wire. Went to hook up the wires and don't have a nut. Not exactly the easiest place to measure it , and really don't want to remove the starter if I don't have to. Just gonna order a box of them when I know the size. Stan.

I don't know the size.
Do you have a jar full of nuts? One of them is bound to fit.

I'm sure that I got one somewhere around here , I got a nut and bolt collection that most Gearheads would kill for, and mostly in stainless. But I don't have this one. I found one that is close that measured out to be 10-32. It was so close that I could just jam it on , but I don't do work like that. Besides what I want is a Stainless Nylock Locknut, so the tap that fits the nut that don't fit measures at 4.85 MM , The next size up is 5MM so ordered a box of them from McMaster Carr I will know Tomorrow for sure when they get here.

I'm really **** about Wireing , Pluming , and Fasteners . That stuff got to be just right or it will drive Me nuts !

Most times, a search on Yahoo or similar works better than the search on Ls1Tech, even though the search returns a post on Ls1Tech.

Last post on this calls the small nut an M5. (didn't mention pitch)

This one says M5x 0.8

You'll know for sure, tomorrow!

Yep, M5x 0.8 that's the size I ordered last Night along with a box of the star washers to make good contact. A box of 50 stainless nylock nuts was only $6 really not worth My time searching the Garage for one that I know is there "somewheres".

If this keeps up , gonna hafta get another Bolt binn this one is 4 ft wide and 6ft tall with 96 binns and it's dam near full .

M5x 0.8 fit perfect .
