Problem being when i connect the ignition feed up and turn the ignition nothing happens. Looking at the relay - seems i've been a bit heavy handed when reducing the loom (removing excess) and I think the relay is kaput!

Will bypassing the relay and putting in a starter button (but still retaining the ignition switch for IVA) have any long term effects??
haha, Ive done exactly that, and cut too much off the loom, and now there's only 1 wire left on the ignition relay , i havnt thought about what im going to do about, it, but for the time being, im just going to try and get the engine running.
