Thanks everyone for your help. I had the crack welded by Futamo in Gerrero
Negro, but it did not work. I have managed to reduce it to almost nothing
by using the two part JB weld. We are in La Paz and going to Geraldo's VW
this morning to see what he can do. We have also lost the male spade
connector from the solenoid. The connector actually fell out of the
solenoid housing and is very difficult to access. This is an SVX conversion
and the starter is right up against the fuel tank, so hoping this Geraldo's
VW has a lift. Futamo's had several lifts, but very few tools and even less
talent..........
Beautiful beaches and friendly people down here.......warm days cool
nights. Aaaaaah......now to the mechanic.
Gracias!
Miguel
