<div dir="ltr">Micheal<div><br></div><div>You are correct the black earth wires need to go to the bulkhead on a screw hole nearby. There also need to be a black earth wire to the right-hand terminal on the control box. This should be part of the loom but if not you will need to make up a short black wire</div><div><br></div><div>In reply to your second point, your starter solenoid has Lucar (push on) connectors so it is not an original. Lucars did not come into use until 100 productions ceased. To be authentic you will have to find a later solenoid. As a compromise, you could make up a short fully <b>insulated</b> adaptor cable with an eye and a short nut and bolt with a Lucar on the other end Then you could go back to originality with an older starter solenoid if you could find one. I believe that you can just remove the Lucar on the main terminal (on the right)</div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, 19 Dec 2020 at 12:42, Michael Salter <<a href="mailto:michaelsalter@gmail.com">michaelsalter@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">The starter solenoid wire has an eyelet because the original Lucas solenoid had a threaded terminal with a nut for that connection.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">M</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat., Dec. 19, 2020, 1:20 a.m. Michael MacLean, <<a href="mailto:rrengineer.mike@att.net" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">rrengineer.mike@att.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:"times new roman","new york",times,serif;font-size:16px"><div dir="ltr"> Wiring the engine bay in my BN2 now. A little confused. When I wired the Bugeye some 20 years ago I don't seem to remember having any problems matching wiring end terminals with the connections to the components in the engine bay. If you look at the two pictures one is of a straight on shot of the voltage regulator with the cover off. All the connections have been made except the three black wires that go to the screw on the right. Easy enough to just cut off the eyelet and twist the three wires together, then shove under the screw. My question is why is there an eyelet connecting these three wires? The second picture (not real clear) shows another eyelet on the end of the white wire with the red tracer. This wire goes to the blade connector at the top of the solenoid. I can see that I have to cut this eyelet off also and crimp/solder a female connector for the blade connection (or drill out that hole and put a screw and nut in there for the eyelet), but why is there an eyelet on the end of this wire? Did the original solenoid have a screw connection for the eyelet. That would not be the case for the three black wires that connect to the voltage regulator though. Just wanted to ask before I started snipping away here.</div><div dir="ltr">Mike MacLean<br></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
