Who supplies the Weldon USA Barrel Drive with the strange looking gear?

I made this correction to original post:
Bendix above should have read Barrel Drive

I have 55,000 miles on a used original Bendix (NOT REPRO) on a 6 volt starter that was on the car when I bought it 1962.

The car had a High Compression 5.2 Police head installed for the whole time and occasionally a Lion III 6.5 head and for a longer period an original Thomas Aluminum 8.25 to 1 head.

The Police head is still on the car today.

I did break one spring a couple of years ago though. It happened in the driveway... I guess one could call that good luck?
