Bugger! I’ve gone and done it again. Heavy handed me has sheared the smaller of the two poles on the starter solenoid end cap on my Sprint. I can’t quire believe it, even for me that’s a pretty stupid thing to do especially after the struggle to fit the dam starter in the first place!

Anyway, my question is; can it be repaired? Can I buy the solenoid end cap? Or is it a new starter only?

Bish.

Aha, I see James Paddock has the solenoid 520473 so maybe that will be the answer.........

you can buy most components for starter motors including the solenoid so you shouldn't have to buy a complete unit.
depending where you are there may be an auto electrician's near you who will be able to get the parts. if all else fails Ebay..

*EDIT* I took too long typing this
