Accepting your proposals for wiring up the device - I can do no other since I lack your specialist knowledge in the matter - your theory seems sound, Alan. It could improve the R.B.'s drivability in slow moving traffic and for that reason alone would be an interesting experiment. You could also easily reverse the modification should it prove not to be successful.
It does beg the question, however, why hasn't anyone thought of it before? Maybe they did and there is a patent out there somewhere, in which case why didn't Mr. Volvo offer it as a refinement to his motor cars in period (possibly cost (?)). Either way, you cannot now lose anything by trying and, since you are unlikely to cause any damage to the R.B. in doing so, why not give it a go? At the very least, it should make for a most interesting thread!
Regards, John.
