Colin Lindsay Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 My 1200 Estate starter has broken a small metal ring which goes around the central windings. It seems a shame to buy a complete unit for just this little bit - does anyone have the contact details for a supplier who sells Lucas components like this part?

Guest Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Hello Colin, Try these: https://www.autoelectricalspares.co.uk/starter-motor-brush-sets--springs--pinions--drives--service-kits-80-c.asp https://www.rotatingelectrics.co.uk/ https://www.woodauto.com/range/Starters I do have some auto electrician contacts who may be able to assist with a spare - I'm in the garage tomorrow and will look at my list for additional contacts. Of note the second company link are out your way. Wood auto are excellent. Regards. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed they are - Long Cookstown, as the song goes. I might give them a call. New starters are from about £60 upwards, just in case it's not cost-effective to have this one repaired or source the part myself. Thanks Richard.

Guest Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Hello Colin, Don't know how you got on today re the replacement ring, but these are the other contacts that may assist from my list: Ribblesdale - www.ribblesdaleauto.co.uk - 01772.796.047 - good company and also keep a large selection of spares over the counter. Smart Power - no website - 07747.830.444 Paul - not used this chap before but recommended GS Autos - no website - 07860.514.021 Steve - he is a personal friend and a mobile mechanic who travels all over the UK - a Lucas apprentice and tradesman for decades who knows his stuff and likely to get / have that spare ring in your photo !! Hopefully the above should nail it. Regards. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerH Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Hi Colin, before you go chasing the impossible do you know why the ring broke? Can it be removed? Weld repair and refit. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted October 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Richard - thanks a lot for all your hard work; I'll follow those up over a coffee later. Roger - no idea why it broke; the starter wouldn't turn so I stripped it down and found that part sheared. It could probably be welded but if a replacement is cheap enough it will save a lot of bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
