When a Model T has a starter solenoid between the battery and the starter where is the proper place for a fuse. Electrically challenged here so please be kind….

Are you referring to a starter relay as a starter solenoid? 6 or 12 volts? Model T starter? There relay acts as a switch between the battery and starter and usually used to replay the floor mounted starter switch to have a push button start. The amperage of a starter is quite high no fuse but if you are concerned - then you need to install a kill switch. Diagram wire thickness is not to scale.

Thank you for your time and all the drawings. My other model T has a fuse at the starter switch but this one is a little bit confusing since it uses the solenoid. The car does have a main disconnect back at the battery but I was more concerned about something catching on fire while the battery was energizing everything.
