I cut a 3/8 inch long piece of rubber fuel line. After the + cable and nut are installed and tight, I slip the piece of hose over the top of the starter stud and wedge it against the block.
Simple, cheap, and the rubber hose insulates the stud. 4 years and no problems.
I've heard of guys who run without any insulation at all with no problems either, but this simple fix makes me feel better.

That's the same way I did it.

I just stuck a mini starter on my Interceptor, I tossed the connection extension and I seem to have acceptable clearance, but I know some are better than others...
I tossed the extention too, and did some grinding on the remaining tab to maximize the clearance to the block.

tossing the exension is a necessity on a BB with the mini starter

The McRobb Starter is a very nice piece but it is three times the money... To keep $200.00 in my pocket I'll deal with a minor inconvience...
