Phil,
The early 1935 - 1937 Morris 8 Lucas M35A starter motors have the same pivoting carrier arm / spindle arrangement and suffer similar serious wear problems after 80 + years. If you have a lathe, I'm sure the carrier arms could be bushed as you would with a grandfather clock mechanism. I would think the spindle wear could be slightly more difficult to address as the spindles are riveted from the outer side of the rear cover plate. I'd be interested to hear how you intend to overcome this problem.
