tengah spitfire Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Anyone help please The 1934 Morgan Super Sport has been up-graded in the past and had a starter motor (instead of the crank handle) fitted..from a bit of research it turns out to be a modified Triumph 1300 unit. The starter has lost it's rear bush and I need to find someone who can be trusted to re-build it..the last few companies i used let me down so i could do with a few pointers to a trusted company..if you know someone please let me know asap..we need the car in 2 weeks time for a special occasion.Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunkymonkey Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Depending on how modified it is, you can get bush and brush kit off EBay that sorts them out 100%:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lucas-starter-motor-Repair-Kit-M35G-850-1500cc-1959-69-/400164195137?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5d2ba50b41Had one off him earlier this year and it totally cured my intermittent starting problems.It's listed for the M35G ("normal" rotation version) but all the parts fit the "reverse" rotation starter for the 1300. The only caveat to that is that the front bush is very slightly too long so needs to be compared with the old one and shortened before fitting (you can do it after fitting with a Dremel but it's easier out of the motor).To do the rear bush you only need to be able to undo a few screws and push it (by finger) into place. To do the whole starter (brushes and front bush as well) you need to be able to solder and devise a clamp for the Bendix spring - you can remove them with a couple of pairs of Mole grips but it's a bit of a balancing act and they really fly if you get it wrong!Assuming the windings are ok, you'll find that the kit above brings the motor back to virtually new performance for under £15 and about a couple of hours time (the first time you do one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partsaver Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Are you sure its a triumph 1300 starter and not a dolomite or spit 1300 starter, as Spunkyyguy says the triumph 1300 (as in its a front wheel drive car) has the bendix which spins the wrong way due to the flywheel being at the front of the engine.
