OK, so I just installed the connector on the negative battery terminal and I think I see what might have been the issue...

On our short term test vehicle that we have in the shop right now the bolt threads were a little bit rough. This prevented the supplied nut from slipping on easily. However, we were able to clean up the threads a little bit and persuade the nut to go on there. It didn't really require much persuasion as too much force could have damaged the bolt beyond repair.

Did the threads on your bolt seem a bit rough? Or were they completely clean?

The threads were clean. It appeared as though the bolt a little weld on the tip to prevent the nut from being unscrewed and removed.

Maybe mine is an isolated case. Let's wait and see if the others have the same problem. Obviously it's not a showstopper. By the way, did you see my other thread on the Stillen front splitter. I got a number of people interested in that product too. I'm selling for you guys and I'm not even on the payroll.

I hope it was an isolated case haha. Thanks for the feedback no matter what it turns out to be though...

I haven't seen any threads on the front splitters but I have been receiving a lot of emails on them lately...You guys are just too fast for me haha.

So where do send your check? hahaha...You definitely are creating some interest...

Let me see what I can do on the splitters...The only problem that might arise is that we are expecting a price increase from our material supplier on July 1st...It's a 25% increase to us and I know we're planning on raising the retail cost 10%...I'll see what I can do though.
