At the final stage of getting my mini on the road. The new engine has the starter with it but it hasn't got the solinoid attached like the old one. Any ideas what I'll need to get it sorted.

inertia to pre-engaged starter There's basically two ways of doing it, one using a relay, and one using the original solenoid... The basic difference between the two types of starter is the load which is placed through the ignition line, with it being greater on the pre-engaged, and as such the load needs to be isolated from the ingition switch. Hence the use of a relay in the std wring loom on pre-engaged vehicles. So, how to convert.... The easiest thing to do is leave your solenoid where is it on the inner wing, and use it as a junction box. Connect ALL the main feed wires to the same ( battery in ) terminal, this includes the High current lead which use to drive your inertia motor. This will now form the permanent live feed to the starter solenoid on the motor. Now, you can use the solenoid as a relay, so leaving the little white/red wire attached to the small terminal on the side of the solenoid, run a 30amp wire from the now unconnected pole on the solenoid ( where the starter use to be connected ) to the large spade terminal on the pre-engaged started. or... if you want to use a relay, remove the white/red wire from the solenoid put this onto a relay on terminal 86, terminal 85 is connected to earth, terminal 30 is connected to the battery live, and terminal 87 is connected to the starter solenoid. (wires to 86 and 85 are low current, wires to 30 and 87 are 30amp high current)

Sorry for the late reply. Used nets pictures and now got the old girl to start.
