Default Re: Converting Model A to key starting

I took my starter to the local shop to get the post fixed for the solenoid setup and the guy wanted $100 to do that and change to 12 volt. A little pricey I thought, so I took a couple of his business cards and left. When I got home and thought about it, I took his business cards, folded them, and stuffed them under the spring on the contact, in the box on top of the starter. This provided the necessary electrical change for the starter. I used the $100 to purchase a barrel Bendix, and a few other things. Works like a charm, and if I ever want to go back, just remove the cards and its done!
