Jason Morris in Ct rebuilds our starters, contact him @: jsmthefix@msn.com He probably can fix you right up. Tell him I sent you.

Has anyone located replacement starter brushes 6x10mm? I rebuilt mine last month and found a 6.5x10 was available from my local shop, which I filed down.  Cost me all of $5 and the seal.

One valuable hint I learned was the use of GOOP (automotive & black in color) to fill in the O-ring groove after assembly. Works really well and looks original.  Just wipe of the excess wtih a rag before it dries.

I had to solder to the positive bolt but it worked out okay (so far).  I can get a 6x9mm with the bolt and I wonder if that will work.

Has anyone tried some derivation of these available sizes?

Hope you can get a few things ironed out without too much expense!
