I'm going thru an Autolite 24V late closed nose starter that the Cap'n hooked me up with last year as a spare. As typical with the switch there has been arcing inside and some of the insulating pads are burned. I'd like to replace/fab the pads rather than buying a nos switch for 75 bones. The pads are an insulating matl resembling circuit board matl. Ideas?? Got Some?? Dbl click the foto..
Thx, Muley..

Guys that re-build starters and generators professionaly most likely have paper type insulation material for the fields inside the case. Probably thinner than those you have? Plastic butter dish lid material? It most likely needs to withstand heat and water. Junk electric motors? Maybe a electrical supply shop sells bulk insulation material? You'll find it Muley!!!!

Yep Cap'n if I can source the sheet phenolic it will most likely be Dremel work-one at a time. If I can make it work, while the project is goin mebbe I can work up a couple sets-there's 4 insulators per switch-2 lg, 2 sm.
It'll cost ya big time supersonic.. 
Where the heck is the professor, still on the quail hunt? I bet that SOB knows where to find the materials.. |

I agree with Oily, I'd go ask your friendly neighborhood old school starter rebuild feller. Ours has passed away.... Sniffle, snob.....

Hey----------just go down to the junkyard and pick a few old starters like the one you have out of the pile there. Should be good originals in there. |

This just seems like something Jeffers would have sitting around at work. Where the heck is he?

I'm tryin to put a 24V starter SPARE on the shelf. Yep i'll recon the switch.
Today I pulled the back plate off to chk the brushes and commutator. F-ing black
motor oil ran out on the bench. Huh? How does dirty motor oil get into a electric motor?
I confess I wish I hit the motor w/24V BEFORE I began the work but any time spent on the
workbench is better than a day workin for da man.

If you fill it with oil, it's waterproof!  That's just nasty. Brake clean time huh? |

Leave the dipstick out once. Or fail to tighten the cap on the oil filter. Or allow an oil line to get so bad it breaks. You’ll never do it again.

I hear ya Cap'n! Any idea how the SOB got oil filled? It was water tight when new, 60 years back!, most likely as the bushings get lazy over time and the rear main suffers the same fate, it seeps in through the shaft seal. The nose cone acts as a catchers mitt for the flinging oil, directs a few drops over time to the shaft seal ..... no idea where that one came from, I never used it and glad it's got a new owner!.
