Re: 1930 model A starter 12V conversion
I have converted more than a few starters to 12v using the field coils available from Snyder's. Work great. Like Herb, I also feel your rebuilder is overlooking something. The instructions from Snyder's are pretty straight forward https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/R...ields-4934.pdf Ensure the poles are not hitting the armature and the armature spins freely.

Dick is correct, you don't 'have to' convert your 6v starter to 12v, but I feel the 12v is a little less "harsh" on engagement than the 6v running on 12v. JMO.
