Hey All,
I recently bought a mini starter for my 68 Val. I didn't like the original terminal block which had the posts facing straight up. There was no room for tools to tighten the terminals once the starter was installed. Someone pointed me to a post where there were part numbers for terminal conversion parts which put the terminals facing forward like the original starters. MUUUCH easier to install and remove.
The hitch was I had to buy a quantity of 20 each of the necessary 3 parts at my local auto electric shop. So after converting my starter I have 19 extra sets of parts!
So, if you want to convert your mini starter too I'm selling the extras. I'll sell each set for $11 shipped to your door (lower 48) + 3% if you choose paypal
Here are some pics:
-Starter terminals facing straight up. Hard to install and remove cables. Up against exhaust etc.
To aleviate this replace the original starter block with this:
On my starter I did have to file away one edge of the insulator (shown in pic) to clearance for one of the starter screws. No big deal. Not sure if this is even necessary on all starters
What you end up with is this:
Much better. Super easy to install and remove!
