Can you explain exactly what you mean, because I don't quite understand? So long as the two HT (thick) cables go to the two HT terminals (and I can't see where else they'd fit) then it shouldn't matter which way round they go. All that happens when you energise the coil is that the main contact closes and shorts the two cables together, allowing power to flow to the starter motor. :??:
