Regards this hard start kit or any other electrical add on - an old axiom
from Dennis Haynes that really applies , THE MORE YOU AD ON, THE MORE THAT
CAN GO WRONG. Always keep that in mind when planning upgrades.

We always had a similar axion when flying, -  in a single engine plane, you
have a single chance for engine failure. In a twin engine airplane you have
twice the chance for engine failure, and getting on the ground safely is
not the same. There's a completely different set of perameters between
single engine and twin engine safety. But for Vanagons, if it's a critical
system failure , get off the road and park, til you figure it out. But you
WILL have more to check out if you have modified your van!
