1954 Starter Relay 903 Hookup
I need some advice on the correct wire hook up for my starter relay....
The correct starter relay is 1116886 (6 volt) which is hard to find - 1116904 is a 12v replacement which I do not have.
What I do have is a new 1116903 starter relay for a 55-57 Chevy which according to some, this is a workable replacement even though it is a 12 volt.
First what I do need to know or to verify is the correct wire hook up. Now it seems that since this is not a 4 prong relay I will not need to bother with running a jumper wire - is this correct?
Secondly looking at the relay mounted to the firewall the prong at the 9 o'clock position would be the yellow wire from the starter, the next prong going counter clockwise almost center on the bottom would be the purple ignition switch wire, and the remaining prong would be the black neutral safety switch wire. You can see these on the photo below. Also included a photo of the underside of the relay so you can see the prong.
It appears that the only difference in the 904 and this 903 relays are the prong attachment and the little disk or button on the bottow - they are switched.
Anyways hopefully someone can confirm the wire attachments and if I need to use a jumper wire of any sort.
Thanks, John
