Strange Relay

[Dr Terry]

The neatest way to carry out the wiring to supply a good 12V to the coil is to bridge the yellow & pink ignition wires at the ignition switch. Remove the relay & its associated wiring & run the yellow wire straight to the coil +ve. You will need to drop the column to gain access to the switch wiring, but it's not a difficult job.

JDT's suggestion of using the smaller cap & leads etc. is a good one, it makes things much neater.

The correct coil to use is the Bosch HEC715 which has a female outlet to suit the older style leads. This coil can also be purchased as IGC-173 at Bursons etc. They are the genuine Bosch replacement for the old oil-filled barrel coil.
