you would need to replace the ignition switch and add the extra wire because start 'position three' it is not there and neither is the wiring

I'm pretty sure when I probed pos 3 with a multimeter it went to 12V on the terminal.

That said, mine was a super early car so maybe it had the wrong bits.

 

Easy enough to swap the switch with another GM one though

Yesterday we fabricated, tested and assembled 7 "Big Yellow" relays. Just to inform you that we have a few in stock again at this moment. As mentioned before, it is a 1:1 replacement part but better quality than OEM. It takes seconds to change and minutes if you have a security cap mounted.
Enjoy your weekend and for someone in particular "Enjoy your meal" LOL (no hard feelings;-)

My comment was tongue in cheek but understand it was possibly slightly extreme.  I too have made parts and I understand the time, effort, risk and commitment involved.  I commend you for doing what you've done, and in that context, the price may be justified.

 

I am however sure that you understand my feelings around the concept of spending £100+ on relay!

 

No hard feelings.

Start your own sales thread.

 

"lol no hard feelings" looks like you are pretty pissed off about me asking for a yellow relay, not sure what you think will happen but you really should put your imagination away.

I'd rather sh*t in my hands and clap than pay €130 for a relay.

Normal relay and just dont try and start it when it's already running like alot of other cars let you do anyway if you're a retard.

This. :) However it's not a relay, just appears so. It looks there is big (after)market need and if you are the only contender, you have luxury to set the price.

 

Still, I agree, 130EUR must be a hefty margin for such simple electronic circuit.

I've got a housing from one of the ones that might have worked but didn't. Wouldn't mind doing a bit of soldering and make my own if someone has a circuit diagram.
