Has anyone here ever rebuilt the backplate of an 8N starter? The insulating bushings on the rivets that hold the positive brush brackets on my starter have turned into dust. The only way I can see to fix this is to drill out the rivets and replace with new bushings and new rivets. However, the starter re-build kits don't include these parts. I could probably rig it with small bolts, but that would look kinda bogus. I could also take it to a starter shop, but that would be surrender! All advice is appreciated! -JohnJ

your mom and pop shop can do it if they stock the parts for a FORD DIESEL LUCAS STARTER. I steal the insulationg bushings and other parts out of them and modify one of the insulators for N use. You can also buy a new chinese plate for $20. You may have to drill the thru-bolt holes to make it work, automotive used smaller bolts. You can always go to a NH dealer, and for about $100 get the toughest, highest quality reman on the market p#8N11001R. There's always the piece of crap made in india for $79 too, but the cores won't be good for anything but tarp weights for your firewood in a couple of years ( true story )

Ditto. Let the starter guys have some of the action.

Sure.. I can swear and cuss and strain my back changing a tire.. or I can pay 15$ and let the tire guy do it and wait in his showroom and have a free cup of coffee whle he does it in 5 minutes with the right machine and tools.

Just to say I've done it.. I did do a couple tires.. but no more...

Same with pressing a bearing off.. or re-forging a broke steering shaft... that's what a machinist is for... Sure.. I'd like to do most/all of the repairs.. but some things are economically better to either professionally repair.. or replace.

Besides.. I'll bet if you dropped a little 'cold beverage' money in the mail.. our local starter/alternator/genny expert Jim cox would probably provide your rivits/insulators to you.

Go to the starter shop and buy some rivets. in reply to JohnJ, 09-16-2004 15:09:17

And insulators. Call it surrender if'n you must but it doesn't sound like surrender to me.
Starter shops sell starter parts. They may even have a better 'kit' than you found other places. They are, after all, the starter guys. My starter guys sell me what I ask for. Give me good advise, too.
