Porsche 356 Starter Switch Relay Install DIY/Hack

In this DIY, we install a Starter Switch Relay in our 1958 Porsche 356 A Cabriolet. The reason for this modification is to reduce the current that flows through the ignition switch when starting the car. The relay is from a Joe Leoni kit that includes the relay, all wiring, and instructions. The install is pretty straight forward, but I did run unto a small snag in that my car had a different connector (a ring) on the Solenoid than what was supplied in the kit (spade). Instead of chopping up the original wiring harness, I opted to build an additional bridge wire that I outline in the video. I did this for two reasons: I don’t want to alter the original wiring, and also, if the relay ever fails, I can quickly return it to the original state on the road if need be. If you wish to purchase the relay kit, you can contact Joe at joe356electrics@gmail.com. Also, feel free to contact me with any questions and I’ll try to get you going. We hope you enjoyed the video.
