Ok there ya go, just pulled my box out. Of course mine is riveted shut. Will probably drill it out and see if I can open it anyway, unless you have a better idea? I’ll probably take one of those S3’s and matching TSU off you btw. Any suggestions what to use to clean up that cannon plug?

So you just installed a switch on existing box and used original wiring, very cleaver

Does that mean you did the push button and relay method I’ve read about to control your glow plugs? I was going to bring that up, wanted to get the group’s thoughts on the matter.
