Afternoon all,
After some time fixing an extremely odd clutch issue in the wife's 1602, it's time to get back onto the mini. Hay isn't far away :|

Now, question with the wiring.

-Battery positive supply is easy enough and is in situ.

-Upper (large) spade terminal (help!?)

-Lower (small) spade terminal will be the switched trigger for the starter itself?

I'll also have to supply the charge feed from the alternator - I assume it would be easiest and best to go to the battery positive cable?

Cheers,

Well, quick update for anyone with one of these starters - upper large spade terminal is the starter trigger... Which is a pain to find out, once you've cut/terminated/shrink wrapped and zip-tied all your wiring into place :(

My 2 cents worth. The large terminal is the starter trigger like was said previously. The smaller spade is not used on a Mini. It is a resistor bypass feed which becomes live with 12Volts + when cranking. These solenoids fit many other applications besides Mini .

the resistor bypass is used with some Minis over here. 998ccm Austin-Rover ones from 1984 to 91
