Where is the best place to buy 12 volt Relay & Solenoid ? I have a 6v solenoid now I believe I still need to test it.
 
5th Avenue Internet Garage handles the new stuff. Barnfind08 might have some NOS. Used stuff from flea-pay taken with a grain of salt. Some folks run the 6-volt electrical components on 12-volt but I can't vouch for how long they might last. The governor and any applicable switches don't care about voltage.
 
Kind of caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.. New= Off Shore, Used a crap shoot. Often find NOS, or rebuilt showing up on flebay. Points are the issue on used.
 
49 Merc,
If interested I've got relays and solenoids, all points checked and tested.
6v and 12v....all used USA and working 100% , but you never know. BTW most over-
drives I build feature 6v solenoids and work fine on 12v. Not so the other way around.

My take on Borg Warner OD's is the 6 volt solenoid will last forever on 12 volts.
The 6 volt relay won't live on 12 volts. The governor doesn't care about voltage.
I have used BW overdrives in just about every-thing I've owned for a lot of years.
