Images of the #8 AWG cables I installed, the Dremel tools and the ignition side cover components involved.
Process I followed:
1. Run #8 AWG cable from +BAT to solenoid.
2. Run #8 AWG cable from solenoid to +Starter.
3. Run #8 AWG cable from battery GND to starter bolt (as shown on parts diagram).
4. Repurpose old starter supply cable. Connect between side case bolt and coil mounting bracket bolt.
5. Polish #13 Bendix Cover bore to reduce Bendix drag.
Remove 2 screws #25 from Electric Starter Cover, Remove Cover.
Remove nut #29 from starter cable.
Wiggle/twist #14 Starter out of Ignition case.
Remove bolts #8 and #25 from #7 Ignition Cover.
With finger rotate Bendix and estimate drag/tightness.
Remove #9 bolts from Bendix Cover #13 on parts diagram. Remove Cover.
Clean grease from Bendix Cover bore and lightly polish bendix bore with clean dry 1/2" felt pad and Dremel tool. Don't polish too much maybe 1 minute max.
Remove and replace thin paper gaskets #28 and #23 since they generally tear upon cover removal.
Apply grease to Bendix Cover bore, Reinstall Bendix Cover to Ignition Cover and reinstall Bendix into Ignition case. Reinstall Ignition case, starter, bolts and cables.
