My Ulster has the usual 1930 type cockpit mounted Lucas Starter Motor. Three times this year it's managed to break both the ears off the pinion retaining clip. It's done it to an original clip and two modern repro clips. I fit a new clip and it's OK for a short while and then the familiar noise of the pinion wandering up and down and catching the flywheel returns indicating that the clip's failed again. My Chummy and SWB Saloon have the identical set up and don't do this. Any ideas?
