More TI coil nonsense

Re: More TI coil nonsense

Joseph, Someone may have overtighted the nut in the past. I think the primary terminal studs have a serrated collar which was molded into the bakelite top when they were made. The stud that's loose may be remedied by a dab of super glue around the joint then a very thin nut to keep it from moving. Another option is to use the 294 Green Loctite made for assembled fasteners.

I'd certainly try to salvage that one as it may be fine. Just be real easy when the wires are attached. Just snug.

I would use that 263 just for judging to save it and swap it out with one of those 207's for driving or PV, etc.

Thank you Rich.
I will try that repair.
I was also thinking black 3M 5200 but that would be a bit messy.

A functional 263 coil is a good piece to have. The one that came with my LS6 had been dropped and damaged. I repaired the tower with a product called Marine-Tex, and it is functioning perfectly and it is acceptable cosmetically.
Here's how it looked on arrival with the car. Forgot to take a picture to it repaired.

Is Marine Tex black?
I ask because I have a similar two part epoxy I use for rifles that is black and would likely work and look good.

I believe you can purchase it in white and grey. Ive always bought colored tint to color it to match.

Re: More TI coil nonsense

I use this as well as a different epoxy, but it comes in both black and brown:
