Re: [HSS] Starter Switch

Yes, the switch contacts can be renewed, but it takes a bit of fiddling.

The contact assembly is held on to the base plate with two screws. Loosen

off the starter connection and the clamp screws and remove the starter. I

re-made mine using strips cut from a copper water pipe, cut to the correct

width and shaped around to fit under the contact screws. The contacts it

on the insulating sleeve with some tension, so that when the pedal is

depressed the tapered contact sleeve comes in between the two contacts with

some pressure to maintain good conductivity. You could use strip brass, but

this is not quite as flexible as copper and may crack as you bed it. You

are much more fortunate than we are over here, with right hand drive, as we

have to convolute around the steering box to get the starter out and work on

the contacts. Good luck.

Geoff.

Subject: [HSS] Starter Switch









Hello. I have been working on my 1929 Hudson Sedan this fall. I

went to start it yesterday and the engine will not turn over. It

appears to have a problem with the starter switch, which is located

under the starter. If I push the starter rod side to side, it will

make contact. How does the rod make contact with the positive lead

and the starter lead? I can see a brass ring on the rod. Can it be

replaced?

Thanks for your help,

Rick
