<DIV>mine came loose a couple years ago. It allowed the starter to move
about. which caused the major power cable tab to move back and forth
sufficiently that it snapped off due to metal fatigue and the car
unceremoniously stopped dead. no power as the cable was floating in
space. could have caused some interesting pyrotechnics had it hit a metal
surface and grounded.</DIV>

<DIV>What sort of lock washers were used?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For connections with a reputation of coming loose I use Nord-Locks (or a
generic knock-off of same). In one particularly difficult-to-hold location
a combination of Nord-Locks and socket cap screws worked very well.</DIV>

Over the past 6 month's I have had 3 different Triumph's to have the 2 allen
head bolts that hold the Adapter block to the starter motor to come loose. The
first was a friends TR3 starter and then the starter on my TR4 race car and
yesterday the starter on my street TR4. These are Allen head metric bolts
about 2 inches long. Is there an epidemic going around my area? Put these back
in with red loctite. Hope that does it. Getting fast at taking starters out.
Check and see if your's are loose before they fall out.<BR><BR>Dean
