Autolite MCL-6113 Starter Solenoid

Good afternoon!

Dropped the 54 Convertible at a shop near me to get carburetor adjusted last night. They called me this morning to tell me the car would not start/wouldn’t do anything. They asked if it had a kill switch which it does not. So, I drove to the shop to see for myself what’s going on as it started just fine when I took it to them. Sure enough, when I got there and tried it myself - nothing. We checked voltage out of the battery (6.5Vs), checked connections to starter solenoid (one a bit loose, so tightened), checked voltage across solenoid and found the 6.5V in, but only about half that out. Decided the solenoid is toast.

So, have been looking for a replacement. I’ve looked everywhere trying to find a P/N hoping to be able to find one through someone. Have calls in to Merritt and Kanter’s and Brillman’s. Any other suggestions? Does anyone know of a compatible off-the-shelf replacement? Any input is always appreciated!

Thanks
