Don't mount the relay underneath, or you will eventually be back to square one, there is enough cable to mount the relay out of the weather in the engine bay.

The belt was too big for a start.  45A & 65A alternators use a 10x1075 belt, only 90A alternators use a 10x1100 belt.

Red circle is the fuel pump, the hose is its breather hose, should tuck in the adjacent hole in the lower tinware. Blue circle is the starter motor

Just start again from where No1 spark plug lead is.

Before you start mucking about with it, you need to check the injector switching time, that will tell you where the fault most likely is. Use a multi meter that measures dwell angle. Connect across an injector plug cables, with a warm engine you should read around 3 deg at idle. If it is correct, th...

I always do option A, Noting wrong with the actual wiring to the headlamps as long as the connections are clean. I do fit a supplementary earth behind the head lamps to help shorten the earth return path. Just use good quality relays.

It comes from the ignition switch to the fusebox Plug B terminal 8, then from the fusebox Plug D terminal 24 direct from the starter motor.

The solenoid is earthed via the starter motor brushes while it is pulling in, so it slowly turns the motor while engaging. The Most common problem is high resistance in the brushes not allowing the solenoid to pull in. Adding a starter relay often adds more punch to push past the resistance.
