Starter Solenoid
« on: September 10, 2009, 03:49:25 pm »
Does anyone know if these are available and if so where?   The end of the housing on mine broke when I was trying to get my cables off.  I've got the solenoid off  the starter but need a replacement.

I have about 20 starters how much would you pay for a solenoid? Could you use a complete unit? I have a hitachi reman for 50$US

I have seen new ones before. Try your local starter rebuilding place. I have a pile of starters I'm trying to give away (old mk1 starters)

LMk if you need one.
