Starter motor pull cable

[Robin Montgomery]

Does anyone know the size and thread of screw / bolt which secures the starter cable into the switch lever of the starter? I have tried everything in my British / US screw box without success, and find it easier to shout for help than to take the starter out for more detailed examination!

Hi Robin, Not an easy one, I've measured the thread on one starter bolt to be 5/16 ins. by 24 TPI which is a UNF thread form. However, trying out the thread on a spare copper terminal block, I found the thread form seemed to be 8mm X 1.25mm pitch. It was usual to use a Brass thread form (26 TPI) for copper based alloys which is similar to the fine metric pitch found on the engine block (8mm X 1mm pitch), so yet another thread to try out. Regards, Eric. -----Original Message----- Does anyone know the size and thread of screw / bolt which secures the starter cable into the switch lever of the starter?

Hi Robin, Ooops, please disregard my earlier reply. I've just read your e-mail again and realised that I'd jumped the gun, and assumed that you meant the electrical cable.
