[AT] Battery Cable Lug question

[jahaze at aol.com]

Kevin, I saw those, but most have machined screw heads on them, the one I am replacing has a bolt head on it.

Enjoy, Joe

 The bolt has a 1/2 inch nut.  I think that makes it a 5/16 bolt?

 I'll try the steel and see how it goes.  If it doesn't work, I'll go the 
 brass route.  Thanks for your help.

 Enjoy, Joe

 Joe,
   What size (diameter) is the bolt / stud?  A steel bolt will work but 
 will
 ot conduct as well as a copper connector.

 I will describe this the best way I can.  On my winch there is a copper 
 bolt
 hat attaches to the positive battery cable on the outside of a plastic 
 housing.
 he bolt goes through the houseing and has another cable attached on the 
 inside
 hat connects to the solinoid.  I am trying to add another cable to the 
 ouside
 f the housing so I have a power supply from both an on-board battery, and 
 from
 ome quick disconnect cables attached to my truck battery.
 My problem is the lug does not extend far enough outside the plastic 
 housing for
 e to attach two cables to it.  I was trying to find a longer copper 
 (brass?)
 olt and have been unsuccessful.  I was told by the hardware store that any 
 old
 olt would work, as long as it was long enough.  Will a grade 5 bolt 
 transmit
 lectricity as well as a copper bolt?  Or should I continue my quest for a
 onger copper bolt?  Any thoughts you can give me would be great.  What I 
 was
 ooking for was a 2" copper bolt to use in place of the 1 1/2" bolt on 
 there
 ow.
 Enjoy, Joe
