I'm looking for a starter relay with longer than stock posts/terminals. Anybody know where to get one?

Make a remote BUS for your accessories. If you have that many things hooking to the solenoid, you may need to rethink your wiring design.
Well I just put in my PA Performance starter and had to move the starter positive over. Now I only have the #12 wire, for the solenoid on the load side and every thing else on the line side. Actually I have the starter + going to the battery because there is no more room.
You could just use another starter relay and use a jumper over to the new one from the old one. Either that or check out MAD Enterprises. Mike has a terminal, but the lug on it is only like 10mm, pretty small, but it will work.
Thanks people. I found a distribution post to use. I want to try and clean up some of the wiring.
I just did this and got all of them on the battery side of the soleniod. I did move two smaller fueseible link terminals from the soleniod up onto the "battery" side of the circuit breaker which is on the soleniod post for the power windows/top which gave more room on the post.
NAPA Makes theres with longer than stock terminals.
I think I even have one hanging around so ill find it and measure it

Thanks tmoss. I'll be sending you my GT40 lower in about 2 weeks. what's the turn around?
starscream88 let me know if you get a measurement! Thanks

Turn around is usually 3-4 days, sometimes less. When I get new lowers that don't need bead blasting I have turned them around in 1-2 days.
tmoss thanks, I did the wiring switch as you said but I still might need a longer studded relay or accessory post because I still have my electric fan to hook up. I'll e-mail end of week!
FWIW NAPA does indeed sell a relay/solenoid with longer terminals. They are about an inch compared to half inch stock.
sn9550, Where did you find the post, and what does it look like? I think I might do something similar.
I bought the NAPA relay which had longer studs. www.evparts.com has insulated accessory terminals which are single post.
I did as several suggested in here and used a power distribution block bought from an audio store. It allowed me to really clean up the 12V+ wiring. Now the fender-mounted starter switch only has one wire on each terminal.
Shoot your email address to me at [email protected] and I'll shoot you a couple of pics of my distribution block.
Hmm weird, I just did the same thing 2 nights ago and had no problem fitting all on the + side of the solenoid...
Sure is nice being able to start the car when it’s hot again....
Still getting used to the sound though...
