953045 Stud | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta stud for the ground cable connection, weighing 0.027 kg and listed for 30 applications across the D, TMD, TAMD and MD series. It supersedes 17967. The earth path is the reason this stud matters — 953261 is the other earth stud listed here, for the ground cable to starter connection — and its published mass is shared with 953071 and the 60 mm stud 953492, so order by the position it serves rather than by weight.

🚤 Compatibility

• Engine Family: D, TMD, TAMD, MD
• HP Range: 110-190 HP
