My Daimler V8 2 1/2 litre has a failed starter motor. On dismantling I have discovered that one of the springs that keeps the bushes in contact with the commutator has broken. Does anyone know a source of said springs? The motor has a number of designations - LUCAS 26140 4 60 then M45G GC70 12V. I have another starter motor of unknown origin that has more substantial springs, this has the identification
255possibly2 10 8 63 then M428G L3 12. and made in England

Thanks for that. I have sent them a message and am awaiting a response. Alec G.

 

There are usually some on eBay UK.
