What size nut holds the batt cable to the starter?

What holds the ignition wire to the starter solenoid?

You looking for thread pitch or nut size. 17mm on bat connection and 8mm on solenoid. I think the 8mm is 1.25 course.

Yeah thread pitch and size. Just trying to avoid the guessing game. I don't keep much metric stuff around.

I'm pretty sure the lug on the starter for the battery cable is 12mm x1.5 (17mm wrench)
Not sure on the ign wire terminal. Maybe 6mm?

Might be just as easy to yank the starter off and drag it to the hardware store with ya!

I've had decent luck measuring with a cheapo set of digital calipers, at least for diameter. Then you hafta sorta guess thread pitch by eye.

you mean the two that are pointing down right?
