You might remember I broke a stud on my starter motor (Here's the thread) and soldered it back on. That worked for about six start ups and then something pulled on that wire and snapped the stud off again. I ordered a new solenoid from RockAuto and when it came, it did not have a stud connector but a spade connector as shown here.
The broken one for reference, you can see the place where the stud attached.
I found this thread explaining that Ford had an issue with the spade connector and provided a conversion kit to get to a stud. I have an eyelet connector on my wire, should I change it out or should I send my solenoid back to get a solenoid with a stud?
