Re: Flathead Starter Brush Assembly???
Ohio Rick. Take a piece of wire like machanic's wire about 12in. long, bend it too in the middle, now you have a loop 6in. long, put the loop down in the slot where the brushes go, hook it under the spring that holds the brushes, pull up the spring and push the brush up the slot untill it's above the spring, let the spring push on the side of the brush, that will hold the brush up, install the armature and brush end plate, push the brush down the slot untill it lands on the armature, now the spring will land on top of the brush and hold it down. When you put the long bolts through, install a couple of 5/16 course nuts on the end so the starter don't fall apart again.When you install the starter, take the nuts off and don't let the starter fall apart while installing.
