Hello,

I am a lurker from the T2 lists. I think I can answer your question. The
relay is installed to shorten the distance and number of connections that
electricity must travel thrru to reach the starter from the battery. This is
a very common problem with buses especially 6v buses. It will work for all
air-cooled vw's. Check out a rocky mountain motorworks catalogue for the
Bosch WR1 kit.

Please visit www.type2.com and press the archives button and do a search for
starter relay and you will find tons of stuff on this conversion.
