If you do a search on Google or Fordbarn or HAMB you will find that the 6V starter will work for many years if you operate it on 12V. Yes there are 12V starters that will bolt up to your 8BA but, the best way to go is to convert your 6V starter to 12V. Mr. 42 already posted how it's done. If you decide to buy a 12V starter be sure to buy one that uses the OEM Bendix drive system.
