So why dis Piper wire it that way?

Well, if you re-read Jay's original post, you'll see that Piper didn't wire the clock
that way. Jay's mechanic did. Jay's A&P could hook things up the way keep-alives are
wired on my Maule and my old 150, but that would require running the wire through the
firewall to the starter solenoid. Some A&Ps are reluctant to run new wiring through
the firewall.

So. Jay. Your mech is reluctant to run a wire all the way back to the battery.
Where's this master solenoid? That will be hooked directly to the battery. Maybe it's
convenient to hook up to that.
