New to this Snap-On Tool list, but not to Snap-On Tools.. Bought my first Snap-On tools in 1965ish.. a
3/8" Drive set of Metric Sockets (9mm-19mm).. After I became a professional mechanic (circa 1967),
I met H.E. Singley, the Snap-On dealer for the downtown Ft. Worth (Texas) area..
Needless to say, I have bought a LOT of Snap-On tools (from some half dozen dealers) over the past four
decades.
Now to the "Wanted" part.. I have, among other testers, an MT-402D Alternator/Generator/Regulator
Tester. It was missing a couple of pieces when I got it (for free! Great Price!!), I have since obtained the
MT-316B Field Rheostat and now need the MT-358C or MT-362B Battery Post Adaptor to complete the set and
make it fully functional... (I even have a "period" MT-340B Battery Load Tester, Love that tester!) I use to
do restorations on classic cars and one of our Daily Drivers is a '70 Datsun 510 (that we purchased new in April '70.
The rest are older, going back to my 1953 Jaguar XK120 DropHead Coupe. (purchased in '67 when I was still in college).
Please contact me if you have one of the above mentioned Battery Post Adaptors and are interested in selling it.
Thanks. Charles.

Charles,

I ran across one of these on ebay this morning.

Kind regards,
John

Charles.

Ya a few days ago I wrote him and told him what it was but it's missing some parts, it's not complete

Yes, it missing a "knurl knob" at least and, whatever goes between the knob and the taper on the threaded post.
My MT-402D Instruction Booklet only shows simple (6th grade) "stick-figure" type drawings of the MT-358C.. The text in the instructions and my fuzzy memory (from when I last used an MT-402 35+ years ago) recall the purpose of the two knurl knobs was to "open" a circuit thru one post while closing the circuit on the other (and vice-versa), thus isolating the volt tests from the amp tests.
If I win the bid on the item, I believe it will work "good enough" to suit my purposes of needing to test the odd charging system now and again..
As a sidebar, I "scored" a mint condition MT-316 Field Rheostat off eBay last week.. I paid "dirt cheap" for it...
Again, I appreciate your help..
Charles
