AEI Series 2 F2060 replica starter
|
I decided on the 23/11/14 to make a replica starter for this rather unusual fitting. By sourcing the needed parts, which was the wedge base from a LED car light, and the glow bottle of a starter, i was ready to go. So i carefully dismantled an Eveready starter, making sure i keep the length on the glow bottles leads. I then had to lengthen the wires further by removing the wires from the capacitor. I then twisted the wires together, which lengthened the glow bottle leads by a considerable amount, then adding solder to the join for a good continuity. To finish, i pushed the wires through the base and pushed the completed assembly into the socket.
Here is the stater in situ, Its pretty fragile in this location, probably the reason why the unusual design was dropped pretty quickly.
