I took the starter to an old an versatile fellow who is jack of all trades and master of most. he was uncertain and endeavoured to seek help. however he came back without success, perhaps in fear of damaging it.
I ordered a 12V field coil from Snyders which I now have in my possession and will convert with that.
I got various opinions on reducing slam by running power through bendix coil and amp meter showed no reduction nor resistance and auto electrician said it was bull shit. However I did try it and yes it did reduce somewhat but insufficient.
Since all of that an A owner demonstrated his new type, made in UK which engaged prior to rotation. This was most impressive and I wish I had known about it prior to purchasing field coil.
I thank you Corley for your input which has been received with gratitude and all others who likewise gave suggestion. gary.
