    Well, I ordered the starter kit and the alternator kit from MAD Electrical last Tuesday, June 29th. As of today, 7 business days later, it still hasn't even shipped yet. So I cancelled the order. Nice guy, but I have to believe that if I order something on Tuesday, it BETTER ship by at least the end of the week.

    So I did all the wiring myself and even downloaded diagrams for the starter bit. I'll put that and photos of both swaps on my web page.

    For the solenoid I walked into Pep Boys (of all places) and deliberately went toward an older gent. I told him I needed a Ford starter solenoid and I didn't care what it came off of. He asked if it was 3 post or 4 post. I said 4. He walked out back and in seconds came back with the part I needed.

    $10.59 out the door!

    Wire and connectors were all free AND my Riv is setup in such a way that ALL the starter wires will simply relocate to the inner fender with NO mods whatsoever. Pretty convenient. Finally something goes my way with this beast.

    If someone can cross reference a Borg Warner part number, I'll post it here so we know what it is off of.
