Re: Broken Starter Motor ends

Thanks for the responses, making a new one is a definite possibility. 3D copying would produce a pattern which we don't need as we can easily make one from one of the broken ends. Using 3D to produce a finished metal end would be prohibitively expensive. If we do make a new one it would be made from steel and re-designed so that it sleeves over the end of the barrel for better support. I would probably simply machine it in my lathe from solid. There would be some hand work to make the openings and the lugs. It would take time but my time is cheap!

BUT why have all of these ends broken, surely we are not the only ones with the problem. I understand that the 3 lug attachment method was used up to 1934 and possibly later.
