Default Dryer 4 wire to 3 wire plug

When you install the three wire cord set on the dryer, the center terminal
needs to have a jumper installed from the terminal to the metal frame of the
dryer. Once this is installed the center wire of the cord set goes on that
terminal, and the outer wires of the set go to the adjacent terminals

Just bought a used dryer much newer than the old one.
Need to replace 4 prong plug with 3 prong. I know I will be replacing the
whole wire at the dryer end.
A site with pictures or advice from folks in the know?

TIA

Lou
