Ok so I've spent another lovely day working on the 914, The harness from the relay has some bad wiring in it. So I'm taking it out to replace it. I get to the starter and there is a Ford starter solenoid remote mounted where it is fairly easy to reach from underneath the car. Now I know this is not factory, but is this a common modification that some people think is a good idea? or is this a band aid fix for something worse?
