Simple. There are two insulators. One has a raised centre, the other a recessed centre. Raised centre on stud first so wiring and bar fits over it and then the recessed centre which captures terminals and bar between both, followed by the washer and nut.

Nev i take it you are referring to the kit from roughtrax? will it include any parts for where the bus bar connects to manifold/intake?

Just the two insulators I think going by the pic. They say they are genuine parts so should be good. Other than the stud which is in manifold all you need is a 6mm flanged nut (standard nut will do if you can't get one of these) and a 6mm washer.

Always disconnect negative terminal/s on battery or batteries when changing glow plugs, or in fact, doing anything electrical.

Note: Check size as it's been a while since I did glow plugs and might be 8mm.
