You don't need that support bracket on your 37 ford. Pre war flatheads were not fitted with them. Rebuild your old starter which would be preferred. ALL parts are available, both bushes, brush set, bendix drive parts, field coils etc. Make sure you lube the bushes correctly with engine oil. Bushes are porous so sit the bush on the ball of one thumb and hold top of it with index finger. Fill bush with oil then place other thumb over end and squeeze down hard till oil comes through sides of bush. If you don't do this bush will wear out quickly. You could also soak bushes in a tin of oil for a couple of days if your thumbs aint big enough. Don't get oil on the commutator or brushes. You need a certain amount of expertise to know what you are looking at, or for, inside a starter motor so if not sure find a good auto electrical shop in your area to help out. I could do it for you but shipping to Melbourne and back would be more than its worth. Good luck, Regards, Kevin.
