Bendix drive needed

Jon B

Does anyone know a good source (or possible source) for finding a new Bendix drive for my 1937 AutoLite starter?  Maybe there are some vendors out there who specialize in this sort of thing.  Any suggestions will be gratefully accepted!

Jon, Pretty sure I have one. Any chance you have a picture of it?

I entered the item number you said Ken and then just copied the link in. Mine does seem shorter than yours but it takes you to the item

Thanks for your thoughts, Ken.

Ever seeking a better bargain, I found this recently ended Ebay auction item.  I'ts even less than the Oklahoma Starter Drive's one on Ebay:

It supposedly replaces "Prestolite" #EBA-5.  AutoLite lists EBA-5 as the part number in the 1937 Hudson parts book.  Not sure where Prestolite comes in, though.  Does anyone know definitely whether this drive will fit a pre-war Hudson?

right you are!  my mind is frazzled

Okay, now an even better question would be: why is the same seller selling the (apparently) same starter drive for $48.95?  http://stores.oksap.com/starter-drive-for-1934-47-hudson-1945-48-kermath-marine/

Ahh, but it's almost 2:30 in the morning and I am probably missing something...
