If you are referring to what I call the starter solenoid, mine is on the
firewall. I thought that was where most people put them to keep the wire
weight down. I have my main in the front.

I've got the gear pump assembly from Wayne Lanza which has the battery and
the starter contactor on it.
I'm looking at the wiring and having to run the B-leads from the alternators
all the way up to the nose. It occurred to me that I if the starter
contactor was on the firewall that I could run the alternators to the
battery side of the starter contactor which would allow me to utilize the
low gauge wire already in place between the the starter and battery
contactor.
But every Velocity that I've looked at has the both contactors in the front.
Just wondering anyone has their starter contactor on the firewall.

It's been done. I put mine on the firewall. Are you sure it's the starter
contractor on the pump assembly board and not the master contractor? Tim

A small amount of hydraulic fluid is leaking at the back side of my speed
brake. Looking on the inside it seems to originate where the "cylinder"
connects to the brake. Does the speed brake use hydraulic fluid? If so,
does it come from the retract system, or is it separate?
Thanks,
John

Both my contactors are in the nose. Running a condiut ground with the main
cable running inside that. Alternator wire runs to the contact point on the
starter where the main cable attaches.
Note: 2-seperate battery system.
