Robert.....can you send me more info on that starter ? Thanks for info.

Mike

mike42 · 06-01-2016, 04:11 AM

35....yes having the original rebuilt, but after spending all this money I would like to have a backup just in case. That's why I would buy a new Bendix and try on the base starter.

Mike if you need a Bendix for a spare starter,Van Pelts has good ones as mentioned.

Mike, the original style bendix's that most any vendor sells are good. Usually you will find two versions, US made and Foreign made. As long as they are the original style they are good in either version. We sell both.One is $38.00 and the other $29.95.

Thanks to everyone during a very frustrating situation. I appreciate it very much. I'm going to look into all of these p[laces.

Funny thing....I don't hear from the guy at C & G anymore ! Hmmmmmmmm

Thx....Mike

35 ford - what company do you work for ? I got the other Bendix off the motor.

mike42 · 06-02-2016, 03:28 AM

MAC VP - How much for USA made Bendix ?

Thx

Cecil/WV · 06-02-2016, 08:29 AM

Any good NAPA clerk can find the right part without you having the number.

Now those are much harder to find than the starter! Getting to be as rare as hens teeth.
I too would like to have that number on hand.

VanPlet prices on parts are listed online: http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/i...prices-pg3.htm

B-11350-US $49

mike42 · 06-02-2016, 06:34 PM

Seery.....have you used their Bendix ? I'm buying one just to have it.

I put in the old starter and it started right up. $220 for c & g starter.......3 solenoids at $ 20 each.....$10 for new battery cable. $ 290 spent plus all the hours wasted........do you think C & G offered anything back ? He inferred it was my installation fault ! Very disappointing to say the least. >This is the kind of stuff that gives these guys a bad name. They had my money and could not give a damn !

I hate to rant about this, but it just isn't right to those who love this hobby.

Mike

JSeery · 06-02-2016, 06:39 PM

No, I have not used VanPelt's Bendix, but based on his reputation I would assume it is the best available. And if you ever had any questions, he is on the Barn daily!

mike42 · 06-03-2016, 12:07 AM

Seery thx. I'm going to buy one today.

Mike

john in illinois · 06-03-2016, 11:52 AM

Mike, Mac VP takes orders by phone. If he is not in his office he will call back.

John

mike42 · 06-04-2016, 01:50 AM

Thanks John. Did not get to it yesterday but will today. I want to get my '40 back on the road ! This is a grand old hobby and I'm still stung by what I bought and the mess it caused and the related costs all for nothing !

The one thing I'm trying to figure out is how install the drive over the slotted key !!

Thx....Mike

Kurt in NJ · 06-04-2016, 08:06 AM

you take the key out, slide the drive over the shaft, then put the key in, then the end drive part, then bolt and lock plate, always use new lock plates, and new bolts if the threads show any wear or looseness

mike42 · 06-05-2016, 03:11 AM

Kurt....thx....I was just afraid of taking out the bolts in the 2 spring areas and have the thing tough to put back together. Never worked on a starter before, but I sure have recently ! A friend of mine gave me a motor and I bought a new Bendix just to have a spare.

I was able to have the original starter fixed and I installed it and it fired right up.

Thx again....Mike
