Starter Spade Connection

Everything works fine. I'm just getting tired of getting under the truck every now and then to wiggle the spade connection to get it started. The boot is long gone. Seems that I remember someone mentioning that you could get a repair kit of some kind. Or do I just wrap it all up in electrical tape? Any ideas?

Brett

Just cut the wire back about an inch, strip and crimp on a new spade connector.

A lot of the replacement starter/solenoid have small screw stud in place of the spade.
They include a ring connector to crimp on the wire from the starter relay.
