Starter band question
I have 6 or 7 starter bands. About half are 1 3/16" wide and the other half are 1 3/8" wide. The Judging Standards don't describe anything about the band width and only have the 1 3/16" band dimension shown on one of the pictures. Does anyone know if the 1 3/8" wide bands were Ford made or maybe aftermarket. It is hard to believe that several of my 1 3/8" bands are aftermarket, as why would anyone need to replace a part like this.

Re: Starter band question
I was looking through the box of bands left from when I used to do a lot of rebuilding -looking for date codes--I have a lot of them because I bought a cheap box of "repro" bands---they were clean, not rusty and it was "cheaper" to use a new one than the time it took to clean/paint,de-dent, at the time it was less than 5 cents each -----but in the pile of used bands there are the 2 widths, and i was thinking I have to look as i was moving the core pile to see if originals have the differences too

Re: Starter band question
Early starter used a wider band. I thought it was talked about in the Standards, but my book isn't handy now.

starter was used. It had bushings, the 112" Abell type starter drive, a new style end plate attached with two long fillister head bolts, a removable end bearing cap, a 1- 1/ 16" wide cover band with only the mid portion of the ends bent up which was fastened with a No. 8-32 x 1- 118" round head bolt and 118" x 11132" hex nut. The fourth starter type was introduced October 1928 beginning with engine number 492511. This starter was used through the end of production. It was the same as the third type except it had a 5/8" Bendix type starter drive. The removable end cap was eliminated by mid 1929. The multiple disc clutch flywheel was reduced in size behind the ring gear to provide the necessary clearance for the larger starter drive. The cover band was widened to 1-3/ 16" in April 1929. The screws were o. 8-32 (No. 10-32 after mid 1930) x 1- 114" and used a 1/8'1 x 3/811 square nut. The cover bands were smooth into February 1930. In February two alignment lugs or dimples were added to each end of the band. Approximately June 1930 the number of dimples was reduced to one on each end placed symmetrically opposite.
