The starter bendix spring in my 42 G six cylinder broke today. Are all starter springs the same or do I have to find one for this starter? The starter is actually a 12 volt starter.

you can probably find a listing. i went to a local auto gen/alt/starter rebuild shop, took the spring with me (at their suggestion), they went in back and came out with one in a couple minutes.

I went to OReillys today and gave them the car info, 42 Ford 226G and they couldn't look it up, but then they only know how to use a computer. and it doesn't go back that far.

I think this may be your spring. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BK_6561501

Thanks Ken, I've been looking at pics and they all look the same. I've PM'd Barnfind08 here, waiting to hear back to see if he has one. I may buy an extra for spare if he has them.

Yes, indeed. Wound CCW from the bolt loop.

already did, they have them and recommend I replace a couple other pieces too

Barnfind08 is looking to see if he has some NOS parts. I PM'd him first, so all depends on if he does and how many. If he doe not, VanPelts will be getting a call.

edhd58 · 05-15-2018, 07:07 PM

Barnfind08 is the man. He has both the vacuum brake and complete starter bendix. Both NOS

PS - I was told more than just the spring in mine is broken, thats why I went with getting the whole thing
