1950 8N Bendix

[usedcarguy]

Bendix drive don't do a whole lot. The starter just spins and after pulling the starter motor, the Bendix drive was on the shaft and there is no pin. I don't think the pin will be a problem but I will try to fish it out. Is the Bendix drive repairable or is that mostly just a get yourself a brand new part in be happy type of fix? Here's a couple of pics.

Hi usedcarguy,
Yours looks to have lost the tension that holds the pin in. This is an unused new one

Havent seen parts aren't available separately. It can be disassembled tho.

Prolly best to get a new one. Can put in a vce like this to deflect the rubber donut ( part 17 ) enough to start the new pin in, like this.
