Default Re: Engine starter, revision

Hello,
thanks for that informations!

Unfortunately, the original thickness is no longer recognizable on the collector because the vertical flank was also turned over. The problem is that the individual collector fields are getting narrower due to too smaller collector radius. Then (in my opinion) also shallower electricity coals must be used. Because otherwise several fields simultaneously receive power.

The mica insulator is already flush with the copper. It must be deeply sawn because of the coal dust.

From the Citroen I could use a few spare parts. It is interesting that during Ford the Bendix sits behind the pinion and protrudes far into the bellbody. Poor bearing!



Hello Kurt,
you have a Citroen Traction Avant? What type? How does it look?
