starter relay issue

I have had good luck with the little "hot start" kits...which are essentially an external ford type solenoid. I usually have these on the shelf, but not sure how "oe" you want to keep it looking.

Hot Start Starter Kit Tuff Stuff Performance 7629 - Pace Performance Parts

Tuff stuff is in cleveland, but never went label hunting on these. I can check if you like

I was thinking the same thing but never had a failure as I recall. But if it's mechanical it can happen. I have ching, chang, chong junk on my mind with the problem as it is a simple relay..... If you want to do something temporary use a ford solenoid. You can fab it up to use the existing mounting holes.... I would say you need to do something different....
