The past day or so has been spent working on the starter. Broke it all down to its components. New rebuild parts are ordered. The casing, front section and end plate have all been sandblasted and painted with semi-gloss black as per the originals. Once back together this should crank the engine nicely. One unfortunate discovery was that the one main connection on the field coil was broken. I'm checking with the company I've ordered the rebuild kits from to see if they have matching field coils. If not I'll go the eBay route and try and find a matching one.
