[Spridgets] Solenoid orientation question.

[WeslakeMonza1330 at aol.com]

Thanks for all the answers to my question.  I can see that moving the  
orientation would increase the likelihood of moisture collecting on it or  
finding it's way into the switch so I'll address that with regular applications  
of WD40.  None of this will happen soon though as I'll need to obtain or  
make a bracket that will work the way I want it too.  You can't see it that  
well in the attached snipped image but might just make out how much neater 
the  cable runs would be if the orientation was changed.  So, another mini  
project.
 
Also, the point about removing the solenoid is that because I have an  
aftermarket starter motor it has an integral solenoid so I could run the heavy  
power direct to it from the battery rather than via the solenoid - much the  
reason why modern cars appear not to have a solenoid and certainly don't 
have a  separate one.
 
Regards
 
 
Daniel

The only  worry I’d have is water getting into the electrical connections. I
’d make sure  it is oriented so water drains away from the connectors.
