Fried starter, do the Doghead conversion!

[Gunwriter]

Had my starter stick on me today. I was sick as a dog and really didn't need to get stranded.
Even had the conversion parts in the glove box. Had recently swapped in a new starter to add insult
to injury......time to swap in a new one now.....

Just do the conversion.............

I've honestly been putting it off on mine (mainly because of time). Bad thing is, I've got one sitting in the floorboard!

Need to do this this weekend.

If you can't get to it atleast pull the old relay down. So it is easy accessible. The very first thing I do is pull it out until I get the new one. Then use a jumper.
