Don in Mystic 2 #1 Posted April 10 I have a 1974 C-100 . The Starter is an "American Bosch" model SMA 12A11 which needs a set (2) of new brushes. Ive searched Amazon, Ebay and the web without success. Hoping someone can suggest a source. Many Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don in Mystic 2 #3 Posted April 10 Thanks but the kit pictured in the link isn't the correct one (ask me how I know). I have a two brush starter and the braided wire attached at the end, not side of the brush Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,230 #4 Posted April 10 I don't know what starter you have, just used that listing as a reference. Give them a call, they probably have what you need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,322 #5 Posted April 10 Don - do you have a Starter / Generator / Alternator Rebuilding facility near you?? They may have exactly what you need.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don in Mystic 2 #6 Posted April 10 Unfortunately, no longer but I am going to expand my search area and hopefully find one..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 9,753 #7 Posted April 10 (edited) You could also try DB Electric. I have bought brush, bushing kits from them. If your starter has enough use that the brushes are worn out, I would suggest you check the front bushing for wear. They are prone to wear as they take all the side loading Edited April 10 by oliver2-44 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,815 #11 Posted April 10 Not anymore ... our guy moved to Timbukto..Sounds like he already covered our usual haunts. Maybe Pat's small engine plus? Lately he's been boning me too tho. I would think they should be easy to find. Try Googling Bosch brushes sma 12a11 being keywords. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
