It was never mounted there on Oz cars. That wiring doesn't look right. Early cars had it on the clutch housing, later ones had it on the steady bar bracket like you had before. Where did you buy the harness from? |

Just after some photos of where i mounts to thanks The normal mounting position for the solenoid is above the bendix gear end of the starter motor, on a bracket which is fixed to the flywheel housing at the point where there are two tapped holes.

Don't suppose it could be for the Rover style solinoid. Just a thought. |
