just use the 12v battery on the starter.
Customer service is not dead in Australia.
Always after HAZET & MATRA & VW factory tools

If you modded a 12 volt battery to have a terminal in the middle between the 3rd and 4th cell, Use that as your positive terminal, and the original
two as both earths, would that be the equivalent of a dual 6 volt battery setup?
