Nothing anywhere else on the part. Does anyone know if that is a Henry original or a repop? I am really curious
Been thru that one. Mine broke a couple of years ago on the way home. If I had to stop a a light, I would shut off the engine. Then when the light turned green, I would put in 2nd and hit the starter. Not fun. My car is 12v so it would crank right up. Luckily I did not have far to go.

Mine had no numbers.



I replaced the arm with the replacement from Bratton's the is longer, making it easier on the old leg to depress. Doesn't look original but the only way you will see it is if I run you over. https://www.brattons.com/CLUTCH-RELE...uctinfo/11270/
