Apologies.

Part of this was inadvertently asked and answered a while back. (felt
like some deja vu going on!)

I'm sure the path from 30 to Su would be more than enough to handle a
basic (surge protected) relay.

But more to the point, this may all be moot. With the 15 position, it
appears there's a connection to keep power to 15 when turning the key
to engage the starter.

Su doesn't provide this it seems.

Neil.
