    I have searched the forum and could not find an answer. At my age I started taking photos of things requiring reassembly to give me something to go by. In my haste to remove the Tilton mini starter from my 455 I failed to take photos. I think I know where the wires go, but know if I get it wrong I could do some serious damage. I have one large wire that goes back to trunk of my GSX clone which connects to my emergency cutoff switch and then to the battery. I am guessing that goes to the terminal on the starter that currently has no wires connected to it. There is a wire that slides onto a spade terminal on the starter. That leaves me with 3 ring terminals. Two connected to black wires and one connected to a black wire and a red wire. Sorry for the poor quality of the photos, but hopefully my explanation will any spaces. Any help would be appreciated.

    The cable and the other wires go to the large stud,..the spade goes to the male spade

    All those connections need to be redone tho,...shrink wrap or the connectors with the shrink made on them

    Thanks for your response. I thought that all the ring wires went to the same post, but needed to make sure. I agree about those ring terminals needing some attention. Thanks again.

    Got everything wired up on my starter and the engine cranked without issue. No fires, yet! LOL!
    Thanks again for your help.
