XS Power

what to do about stripped ibar kit


Recommended Posts

I guess I tightened the bolts on the ibar to much and ripped the threads out, anyway to fix this or do I just gotta buy a new set?

even with them hand tight the ring terminals still slide around a good bit so it didnt seem like a good connection :shrug:

Contact Nathan and see if he can help you.

I put washers under my ring terminals with the same diameter as the bolt to solve this problem. So far so good.

Look at the bottom of one of the terminal posts. If the dia of the hole in your ring terminal is larger that that you will pull the threaded insert out of the Ibar. I bought large flat washers and drilled a hole in it to match the one in the terminal post. You can see them under my ring terminals. This wont fix your problem unfortunately. I found out the hard way just like you did. This was my solution when I got the second set.

Yup. Just make sure the washer has the same dia hole as the one in the bottom of the post. Its either that or use the post with an after market terminal attached to it and attach the ring terminals to it.

If I go that route Ill just get the Knu terminals with the 3 1/0 in/out but those are expensive :shrug:

I guess Ill give it a few days to and see if Nathan drops in and says anything, although Im pretty sure his wont be a "warrantied" item.
