Yes, that is exactly how I did Ray's O/D. I like to use the term enabler or
disabler because it makes it easier for people to understand how the switches
are actually working. The five terminal generic relay does the trick great,
but I am like you and prefer to use a Bosch one for better reliability over
the $4.95 Chinese ones
I can't wait to see the Speedster.

Rear End Ratios
  


Ed,
Your wiring sounds similar to what I used.  I used a
commodity SPDT
    Bosch relay with the overdrive solenoid connected to the
normally
    closed contact.  The switches were wired in parallel so that the
overdrive works when all switches are off. 

And you get this.... I just
recently installed a J-type overdrive in
    my Model T boat tail speedster -
very slick.  It goes about 55mph at
    2000 and I don't care to go much
faster.

the wiring through the reverse switch on Ray Josey's SpitSix. I didn't have
the special bracket used on GT6 trannies for the O/D switches so I used the
reverse as a disabler instead of the normal switches as enablers. It does
allow O/D in every forward gear.

down the highway at 2000 - 2200 rpm. in 4th O/D
