How To: C15a Wire-3 restoration

[Frank v R]

I may have some NOS field coils , I'll let you know,

...can be expected after 75 years of being stomped on....

The starter lever, the two little round pill contact points are rpobably still quite usable..... mine were really worn by a 1/3 and I welded them then cleaned up with a dremel grinder. Some times later I found one on EBay NOS that I now have as a spare. The contact box that fits on top of your starter, the one with the copper contacts are also readily available and work replacing at this stage.

If you get new field coils they usually come as a pair fully assembled as a unit.

Good Luck.

Awesome Frank. I'm waiting to hear back from the rebuild place. I did find an NOS wartimeone one on eBay in Australia. This version came with two separate left and right side field coils. They are only "joined" together when soldered to the copper stud. I've also found others with different part numbers that are apparently the same.

I'll also be replacing the starting motor switch that sits on top of the starter.

and just heard back from the rebuild shop. He will have a set of coils for me next week.
