what size terminals are usually used in grounding wire kits. 5/16 or 3/8 thanks

 

it should depend on the gauge of the wire. Wire isnt normally measured in standard units.

 

well its a 4 gauge wire im using. and i can't remember if i should use the 5/16 ring terminal or the 3/8

 

Go to an electronics store and you can find ring terminals for the wire you are using.

 

well i found some on ebay. so thats why im asking thanks though

 

you mean you found some ring terminals on ebay?

No man just look up an electronics store in the phone book and go there...they'll have all the stuff you need to make up ground wires.

Probaly be cheaper too

 

well ive tried places like radioshack and lowes and homedepot and one thing ive noticed is that if you have a small gauge they will have a small terminal if you have a larger gauge they will have a huge terminal. and no offense to woman, but they are all controled by them and have no clue as to what im talking about. i mean no offense but if they are gonna work there they should know what i can use or where i can go to get it /stop rant and for a ring terminal to fit on my starter from lowes cost me 8 dollars (for 2) thats insane if you ask me. got any good electronic shops that should carry something like that lol. god i hate our local stores.

 

Well home depots in our city usually hire lots of chicks...I guess because the contractors like looking at them?

No go to a real electoronic store not like radio shack that sells toys and ****.

where do you live?

 

mobile alabama.

 

Naw man its ****** easy, I went to radioshack and noticed they only carried smaller terminal but they have one that is a descent size.

So I grabbed 2 packs of that $2.69 for 6 terminals. I busted out my drill set and drilled the hole where the wire goes in and made it to fit a 4gauge wire.

They dont make **** for everything man, and for some things they do make they tend to cost a lot.

Be creative

is this your area

try the one that says electronic supply first then if not call the others and just ask if they sell ring terminals

 

Go to your local car audio place, they will have everything you need, and its cheap...everything to relocate a battery to the rear was 28 bucks...and thats a shitload more stuff than you will ever need...u can get all the ring terminals u will need for about 2 dollars.

 

the crip end is 4ga. of course, but for the ring, IDK. Take a bolt w/ you 10mm, 12mm whatever your using, and pick the ring that fits best.

Go to Home depot, thats what I did when I made mine up, they have large gauge wire terminals with small lug sizes.

I use audio shops for them not so common eyelets.

 

Go to a boating supply store like Boater's World, West Marine or a local marina. They will have all of the parts you need and the crimping tool to put it together. Use the terminals for the size wire that you are using. The 5/16" or 3/8" size that you are asking about refers to the largest size of bolt that will go through the ring. Use the smallest hole that you can. This will make for a better connection point.
