Subject:starter solenoid post too short - help me!
From:Matt Heydon
Date:Wed, 20 Nov 2002 17:14:08 -0700

I just got a Bosch reman. and the threaded solenoid post is about 3/4"
whereas my old one is about 1-1/2".
Because of this I can't get both leads on the post because one lead has a
cylindrical sleeve as it's end that takes up the whole length of the post.
Should I try and replace that lead end with something flat?
OR should I try and extend the threaded post?

Thanks so much for any suggestions.
