Barrel type starter drive
 

I use a made in USA "modern" starter drive on my 4 cyl Model A and it has held up well. How do they do on a flathead?

I have an ECA motor with a cast iron bell adapter and it will not fit 36fordguy

Here's an odd thing, that rubber type "modern" starter drive, Ford had a play with this idea in the mid 30's. Seen pics in the service bulletins, but never seen one.
Anyone seen the beast?

Mine has worked great for a little over a year now. Only problem was having to do a little grinding to get it to slip into the bell housing.

Ware do I get a ( USA built old style starter drive with spring ) for 41 Ford 6 volt? A friend paid a lot money to have his starter rebuilt with the China drive and the drive didn't last very long. Thanks Walt
