I went to reinstall my starter tonight and found that the electrical terminals (studs) are loose and cannot be tightened. Any thoughts/suggestions?

This was a Napa rebuild if I recall -- not the greatest quality (black paint's been gummy since I got it for example).

I don't see solenoid's listed on our regular parts suppliers. Anybody replce just the solenoid?

 

I last priced the solenoid at 75 bucks. FWIW my stock starter had the same failure. Caused all sorts of probs. I replaced the whole assembly with a rebuilt Bosch.

 

I replaced the starter solonoid unit on my NA, it broke off for some reason. Got a new (or rebuild one, can't remember) from perfromance products (they sell them seperately).
