Yeah, that's what I'm doing. I skipped McMaster though.... I ordered some Gardner Bender "split bolt connectors" on Amazon. The GSBC-4 connector nuts are sliiiiiightly too small. I've ordered some GSBC-3's and GSBC-2's - will see if we luck out on the threads and the thickness of the slot. I...
Thanks for the specs and whatnot for the nuts. Unfortunately the only place that returned my RFQ for 3 nuts came in at $100 each.
Oof.
Probably gonna contact McMaster Carr and see what the thread is on some of these.

I looked through C-1 (Repair parts and special tools list) of the manual and couldn't even pin down the part numbers... but went through again and found that the whole stud (with hardware) is part 11, NSN 5940-00-234-3383. But from there.... Web searches feel like they're in spam-land, nothing...
Does anyone have a source for the hardware in the output terminals? Two of mine are missing the nuts, the cage things, and the little insert that actually presses against the wire.
Just got my engine lifted out... What a pain in the ass. Not sure I'll be able to maneuver everything around on the way back in without breaking... something. Still no idea what the taper is supposed to be on this engine... but I'll try to take another measurement, and probably get a different...
What Is the taper on the crankshaft coming out of the engine? I found 2 1/3" per foot in one place.... measured something entirely different (and probably wrong) in a hurry this morning... and am really really hoping it is 2 1/4" per foot. Anyone have better info or better with their calipers?
Dang, you replied too fast. :-) I was going to delete the post because I realized the original poster wanted the whole shebang, bowl included. Bah. :-) I'm happy I know so little about this... mine came with everything ready to go.
You're right. Perhaps this, for the filter element. Not helpful for the bowl though.

Edit: The below is wrong... It looks like these are another brand of filter that can be installed in place of the existing filter, and may only provide 30 micron versus 10 micron filtering.
This is a 3-pack of the filter element (and bowl?) on Amazon...
Awesome. Thanks. I thought that might be the way to go but wasn't sure. I assume in 120v mode, I don't need to worry about balancing anything. I just L1 and N and go?
What's the best way to make connections to the main electrical outputs? The posts are unlike anything I've seen, but I'm only familiar with some residential electrical.
