Re: Bad rebuilt starter from NAPA
On a Starter Side Note: Awhile ago we were discussing rebuilt 12V Ford starters that could be used to switch/swap parts from a 6V unit to create a 12V starter. So, I bought the part number RAY 2449609 from NAPA, swapped in a good 6V armature, front bearing plate and bendix from a 6V starter and had a perfectly running 12V starter for roughly $75. I've used it on the stand a few times - works perfectly.
Of course it was "Frankensteined" together by me - (built from 2 starters) - but for the price, it worked out well. Note: Make sure you have the right 6V donor starter before you head down this road - you need the one with the short front bearing plate (about 3/8" thick). IMG_9030.jpg |

Re: Bad rebuilt starter from NAPA
I worked at a machine shop for a local, independent parts store in the late '60s who bought rebuilt parts from a rebuilder in Baltimore and their rep told me that they actually tested rebuilds randomly as they went thru the process, as it was cheaper to replace a unit for the customer now and then, rather then testing every unit as it was built.
