New to all this and bought a loom but realised it had an inertia starter and solenoid at the inner wing.

At the inner wing I have two browns connected together and a large brown spade and a small brown spade. I also have a white/red small spade.

Am I guessing correctly that the two browns and large brown spade should connect to the pre engaged starter where the battery goes onto as they seem to be from the alternator? And the white/red cable should go onto the terminal of the pre engaged starter?
I don't know where the small brown wire goes.

Thank you for the quick reply

So the easiest way to get round this is to put a starter solenoid onto the wing and use it as a starter relay.
Go from the starter on the wing and use a jumper cable on the pre engaged starter.

I take it the two brown cables connected together with a ring crimp is to go onto the battery terminal of the starter on the wing rather than the terminal that goes to the motor.

Thank you
