starter relay shield

[Hemidog]

does anyone have a picture of this thing installed?
Thinking about buying one, but I don't see it's function....

It slides on the big nut on the relay - it basically shields the live power from an errant wrench or tongue.

what he said.

simply slides in to the big relay nut at stud ( first one against bakelite ).

[Hemidog]

I'm not sure I get it, so the round hole goes into the BATT stud, and the plate covers the top side of the relay? 

[maxwellwedge]

Basically - yes. The hole slides over the first nut on the stud, the cable and second nut go on. Kinda like the shield on the alternator stud.

Is it that critical?

[Nacho-RT74]

not really critical, just for safety, you can live without it. My car never got it since is in my hands 10 years ago, but I put it 1 year ago.
