Reply to "Subaru needing multiple ground straps..."

What Danny said about using a "star Washer" UNDER each terminal is very important.

I don't paint mine because I want to see if corrosion is "growing" at the connection but this is my decision. Painting is a choice but the star washer in not. For those of you who may not be familiar with a star washer. It's those that have "teeth" on the outside and inside edges and those "teeth" are twisted at a 45 degree angle so that they bite into the metal of the grounding surface and the terminal when tightened. They also help to keep the terminal lug from twisting when you tighten or loosen the nut or screw. A nifty, useful and important little device ! Remember ! UNDER the terminal ! Not under the nut/screw ! It is not really a "lock washer" !...................Bruce
