Vintage Minor Register

Hi

Just discovered that I have a broken pinion on one of my starters. Anyone got a spare pinion or pinion and sleeve ?

The starter is the standard 6v M35AO type from a 29/30 cammy minor. I would consider a scrap starter complete if the pinion is OK !

Good hunting ! [ For the records it is a Lucas part 250058 , 10 teeth , RH ]

Tony, is this the same as an 8? May have pinion, definitely got an 8 one! Will have a look through bits when I get a chance. Didn't know you could break them!

Toby

Not sure if it's the same as an eight one ! However. Don't search yet as I think I might have sourced one. Just awaiting a response by email from one advertised [ although the ad is a wee bit dated ].

Although I say it's broken , Toby , it is in fact cracked right through. Probably a weakness in it due to a flaw or something.

Thanks for response , I will let you know if the one I await does actually materialise.

Cheers.

Phew, just got back having forgotten to look for one!

Toby, Tony,

I think you'll find that the Eight (late 34 to 38) Pinion & Sleeve is Lucas Part Number 250116, 10 teeth and Left Hand rather than right. Series E Eight's (M35G starter) were 250415, 9 teeth, LH.

Hi

Continuing saga ....

Now that I have received the starter pinion . Guess what ? It says 250116 on the box [ although it also says Riley 9 1936/37 and Singer 9 '36 ] .... which does not make it a Minor one. Shucks.

So , I am still in the hunt for a Minor one .

Anyone want this one [ possibly for an 8 ] ?

It does say on the box that it is for a M35 A/O starter ..... aren't SV minors using these ?

Tony G

I'll have a look to see what I've got and if I have one I can take it to Beaulieu, if you come down bring yours and if it's suitable for my sv we could come to some arrangement? If you're not down then and I find one I'll bring it back with me to Reading after the jumble and post it. Will enquire at a starter specialist who should be there too.

Toby

Thanks for your offers of help etc.

I have Colin coming over from Grimsby tomorrow to have a look at pistons for his car.

He is bringing his SV starter(s) with him for comparison. When I have seen what the SV ones look like I shall be in a better position to assess what to do !!

I cannot make it to Beaulieu this Sept , but if necessary your offer of searching for the pinion I need would be much appreciated.

I will keep you informed.

Thanks again for your offer of assistance. Much appreciated.

I too had a spare set of +30's for Colin, sold to me as minor that turned out to be 8! Shame they can't be modded as they're easier to find tham minor ones.

Tony, didn't find one! Think Simon may have fared better for you!

Thanks Toby

Promising contact from Simon's chat with The Electrical Parts Co. Ltd. , they think they have one !

Fingers crossed.
