Use a bolt instead of a distribution block?


Recommended Posts

I was wondering if it was possible to use a bolt instead of a distribution block. All i would have to do is attach ring terminals to the wires and put them on the bolt right? Im on a really tight budget atm and dont have money for a distribution block.

yes it will work. you can just put ring terminals on each of the wires and bolt them together. only use one nut on the end, dont put any in between or that just adds unnecessary resistance.

would a thin washer be ok? just so they dont rub together?

It would be pointless. It doesnt hurt anything if they rub together. if anything you would want them to rub together. They are all positive wires. but yes i suppose you could use them. on the positive terminal of the battery i use no washers and have all my terminals "rubbing together."

you can find copper washers to use. I know autozone has some for to use for your cars oil pan bolt. they are usually for half inch bolts. Lowes or homedepot might have some but last time i looked i couldnt find any
