If you don't have a 3/8 drill bit, you should probably get one for this project and future projects as well.
If you look at the upper right hand corner in the picture on this link, you'll see the jumper. It's pretty simple and I think it will be easy to duplicate... http://www.madelectrical.com/catalog/st-1.shtml ...and I'm sure it will be more durable than a wire jumper over the long haul.

I need to see if the hardware store has some convenient material to make a jumper bracket out of, and I probably don't have a 3/8" drill bit. Otherwise I'm going w/ 10-gauge wire. Keep in mind that Summit charges over $10 to ship their kit, and you don't end up w/ nice neat 4 gauge cables w/ factory ends. I just hope this works. I have always had hot start problems w/ this car. Otherwise it's mini-starter time.
