Thanks for your kind comments Howard. Your project is going great guns I think . . . much progress since April and lots of attention to detail. I like the 47's very much. If it turns out as well as your 56 did that will be very satisfying.

Regarding the starter - I've looked at the 55th/56th series starter diagram and it has a ring or circlip as you suggested, which looks like it secures the bendix. I still can't find any way to get the bendix off the shaft on mine. Maybe there's a circlip but blowed if I can figure out where it is, and how to access it. The 24th Series diagram doesn't show it like the 55th diagram does.

So I've done a workaround and will use the whole armature and bendix with the good pinion, and it tests ok. Windings look a bit worse (condition-wise) than my other armature but it's acceptable, so will use it. Other one will be a spare, and maybe I can get a new pinion for it sometime.
