Heat shield for starter click

I didn't have any more clicks after installing the heat shield but now that it's cooler in my garage, I wanted to correct the problem rather than leave it patched.

The battery side contact had twisted in the solenoid resulting in more burn marks on the left side. When the solenoid was cool there was plenty of contact to start the bike. When it was hot, I'm guessing, it expanded enough to prevent good contact with the starter side.
I re-set the contacts flat and applied less force when installing the cable. It should be tight enough not to corrode or loosen but I'll keep an eye on it. If I run into problems; I'll get a second nut to lock the cable tight without applying rotational force to the contact.
