hi howard,
i had quite a few of the starters rebuilt with jim at classic and vintage. until we sadly lost him earlier in the year.
i found a high number of the 1930-1931 were cracking across the front mounting flange, between the long bolts threads.
we couldnt just swap the flange, because they are different.
so the front flange and armature were both swapped, then they could be fitted.
its the windings on the outer case that decide dirrection the starter spins.
there is just one beware though.
if you look at both armatures, one set of windingd lean left, the other right. (we had ONE set of windings come loose from the armature) because they are being thrown the wrong way.
