Does a 5/16 ring terminal or lug fit on an m8 stud?

Trick question?
5/16 = 7.9375 mm

 

[John Frum]

Trick question?
5/16 = 7.9375 mm

I see that the answer is yes.
I did the math the other way round and it didn't work out
I find this part of the process fiddly.

Thanks @MBR

8 mm > 7.9 mm
8mm > 5/16"

a 8mm rod will NOT fit in a 7.9 mm hole

last time I checked

Yeah but last time I checked the question was will a:
5/16 Lug will go onto a 8 mm 1.25 threaded stud quite easily.
7.937

There is some tolerance. They may have changed the rules since the last time I used 5/16 ring terminals on M8 bolts.

Yeah i work on 2 stroke engines that have 8 mm 1.25 threaded studs with the aluminum head gasket holes at ~ 5/16 there is all kinds of slop.
Pretty sure smoothJoey was employing veiled sarcasm.

Snip the O ring into a C ring, good to go!

I'm tempted

Unless you are at the connector amps limit, or corrosion is a concern, or you need an intact ring to keep a seal on something, can't think of a down side.
I'd make one middle cut and stretch it slightly (not remove a section to be like a fork connector).

Use a reaming tool or a step drill bit to open the hole ever so slightly. Do not use a regular drill bit as it will catch and make a mess out of the lug.

 

[Ampster]

I never had to use a reaming tool or split the ring.

5/16" = 0.3125" 8mm = 0.315" Difference is 0.010"
Not enough to worry about with eyelet hole. We are talking tissue paper thickness

Me too

So you are saying I'm not stupid then, just crazy?
I'll take it.

 

[John Frum]

Just bought a Victron battery protect and it has M6 studs which are very close to fitting #10 ring terminals but not close enough!
This agro is not good for my sobriety.?

M8 in a 5/16. Mystery solved.

Reminds me of the line in that Waylon Jennings song, "I have always been crazy, but it keeps me from going insane."
