As promised, I am here posting the ultimate solution with the new starter switch.
• One pic shows the leads attachment to the starter solenoid. (The 10ga terminal holes had to be opened a bit to accommodate the 6mm studs.) Note that I trimmed back the rubber boots; they only get in the way.
• The other pic shows the leads attached to the switch.
• The last pic shows the final result on the left-hand cover.
All this was done with about $5 worth of materials and less than an hour’s time in labor.
The Bonneville now starts reliably every time with a typical AGM (180cca) battery, with no delays, obstacles, hiccups, or those mysterious and nagging relay clicks !!
