I have an old Allis Chalmers Model B, and Im
rewiring some of the ignition components. The
starter has a copper "pad" terminal on the
bottom (usually covered by the push button
starter switch). It was tough to find
information on these "pad" terminals - and Im
not even certain that the term "pad" is
correct. So If it doesnt make sense then I may
have to attach a picture.
Either way - Id like to replace that pad
terminal with a bolt/post terminal, and wire
the switch elsewhere. Is this possible?
I dont see an intuitive way to remove that
terminal - it doesnt seem to be threaded.
Right now the only option I see is to leave the
push switch, and just lock it into the "on"
position with a plastic zip tie (though that
feels like a very unreliable hack job).
I'd appreciate any tips!
