OVERVIEW

IMPORTANT: Service Parts are only available on RadiumAuto.com and are not eligible for any wholesale discounts.

Radium hangers, surge tanks, etc. use two different types of electrical studs. A couple of remaining kits and older legacy parts use non-locking electrical studs. The newest iterations of these products now feature a locking anti-rotational stud.  When selecting replacement parts for these studs, carefully pay attention to which style you're servicing.


INSTALLATION

The installation order for these items are as follows:

  • Install stud into upper insulator
  • Install stud and upper insulator into hanger top
  • Install lower insulator onto stud
  • Install locking nut onto stud
  • Install internal/lower wiring harness onto stud
  • Install locking nut onto stud

Non-Locking Studs

  • Tighten the locking nut securing the stud in place until the stud strongly resists being spun using the upper hex.
  • Do not overtighten as you can damage the upper and lower insulators.
  • Be careful not to spin the studs when attaching the upper wiring and acorn nut, just tighten to snug. If the stud is spun when tightening the acorn nut, it can spin the underside terminals and cause a short.

Anti-Rotation Locking Studs

  • Tighten the locking nut securing the stud in place fairly snug, but stop before you see the underside insulator begin to deform. 
  • Do not tighten further than this or you can damage the insulators.
  • When attaching the upper wiring with the acorn nut, tighten to snug until the wires won't easily move.

Legacy Non-Locking Upper Stud Insulator

Use these insulators for non-locking studs that are cylindrical where they pass through your hanger top.

Very old versions of non-locking studs would have used a washer with a clear insulator. These were replaced with this newer style of insulator, so this one piece would replace both of those pieces.
