Nathan,
I just put a starter relay in my '81 a couple days ago to replace the
existing Ford solenoid that was installed.  Bosch makes a relay kit for
this exact purpose, called the WR-1 low-voltage relay kit.  It comes
with a relay, and a wiring harness that is pre-wired.  All you have to
do is attach the wires to the proper places and then plug the harness
into the relay.  It's really a lot simpler than wiring your own (I've
done both, so I know!) :-)

Check your local VW FLAPS for this kit.  Should be about $10 or so.
