I have converted several starters from 6V to 12V using both rewiring the original coils to Series and buying new 12v coils. Either way is OK. The last 4 I converted I used new coils because I was in a hurry.
I have had the starter gear pushed off or starting to push off the flywheel on 3 cars. One was mine. But like some of the others, I ran them for years with no problem. My thinking is those that come off may be replacement starter gears. My car had a replacement gear.
