Hey Glen, I would not recommend that he attempt to use the solenoid that he has and make the case "float" - then ground it with his push button . . . this is just asking for an issue with it mistakenly getting grounded and then the starter just keeps on running. I would buy the proper solenoid that Ken mentioned - this is the only safe way to go.

Totally agree, I was telling signsup what he had to do if he kept the solenoid he just bought in error!
