Starter bushing, brush end
 

Where do you fellows buy your bushings for the end plate with the brushes for a model A ford. I've had no luck with the ones from a vender. Thanks, charles

Unless it's actually worn out there is no need to replace it. Total time on a starter is very little and the rear bushing has very little load on it. That said, if I had to replace the bushing (I've only had to do a couple) I either bought it from Bert's, Bratton's, or Snyder's, and it fit fine.

I also have a very good seal and bearing store about 5 miles away where I can buy parts if I need to.

Tom and others, I bought 3 from one of the venders mentioned above and had no luck with them. Maybe need to try a different one. Thanks for the help guys.

There were two sizes available (see Service Bulletins), but the parts houses only have one.

What's the discrepancy?

So that's where the problem lies, Tom.
