Good to hear the solenoid wasn't damaged. The R9 solenoids are also getting to be like an endangered species and priced accordingly.

Not sure how much of your system is intact. Flackmaster has the relay and maybe the kickdown switch. Original kickdown switches were 2 terminal on R9s but if they are more plentiful or less expensive, the later R11 4 terminal will work using the appropriate two terminals.

Your car may have the reverse safety switch. If so, details of the reason it was added are in 1947 Service Counselor Vol21 #15 available in the literature section.

There were two versions of wiring harness. Early was in two sections with a shorter section connecting into the main harness with 6 black inline connectors. Later harness was all one piece. If you have the connectors, check their condition. Even then there were issues & were eliminated.
