Hi Group, thank you for answer on using starter for ground on my Rotax 914. The answer is yes I can put an An-4 nut on the other side of bolt.



Question: Should I use any anti corrosion goop on my starter ground joint? Something like Al-Ox which is a green goop you use when "tipping" aluminium home wires with copper in wire nut? Or??



Next question is for Ring terminals, PIDG Fast-Ons and D-Sub connectors, should any goop be applied to these connections? CRC 2-56? Or? Thx. Ron P

   Nope. A properly torqued fastener provides

   a gas-tight connection where it matters. The

   visible surfaces may get pretty ugly with age

   but INSIDE, it will be just as bright and clean

   as it was when you made up the joint 10 years ago.

   Only as local extremes suggest . . . like tropical

   sea shores or ocean based seaplanes. Then

   consult your local mechanics for their favorite

   potions demonstrated to forestall . . . not halt but

   forestall environmental destruction of the

   airplane.

  

   But for the vast majority of our favorite

   pleasure machines no special treatments are

   necessary or useful.
