After converting my 1936 ford to 12 volts I installed a 12 volt starter. After less than 2 years the Bendix brock at the thread attachment to the starter body. Is there a shunt or resistor I could use to slow down the revolutions? Thanks.

Are you sure that the starter was 12 volts? A 12 volt starter would spin just a little faster than a 6 volt starter in a 6 volt system and should not break the Bendix. Use a 56 or 57 Ford starter or have 12 volt field coils put in yours. The starter draws 150-200 Amps, so you would need a 2,000 watt resister to drop the voltage and it would have to be mounted on a heat sink to dissipate the heat. Tom

It is a 12 volt starter from Mac's installed with an original Bendix because the modern Bendix a bit larger in diameter would not fit in the flywheel housing. I was concerned about burning up the six volt. I am concerned about how hard the Bendix hits the flywheel and maybe why it broke.

Do you have the starter support bracket that attaches to the oil pan installed?? Paul in CT
