Since I’ve had the reproduction starter delays for sale I’ve had many inquiries about selling just some of the parts.In response to that interest, I’ve had a small quantity of “extra” parts made for the do-it-yourselfer.
You get three PEREFECTLY REPRODUCED ITEMS:
3-Screws (two for the cap and one for the ground wire under the cap)
One Lid Gasket
One Wire Lead
You DO NOT get the entire starter delay.
It’s a package deal.Please don’t ask me to break it up.If you need this you should buy it now.I don’t have many sets to sell.
The details on the parts included are below.
Gaskets: The gaskets are made of the same black sponge rubber material as the originals. Same thickness and pattern. Exactly the same as the originals. I used an original starter delay gasket as a pattern and had a professional gasket company make the tooling for stamping them out. This is NOT some guy sitting around with a pair of scissors. The cork gaskets on some starter delays were never used on the assembly line units, but were used on some of the over-the-counter Ford service units.
Cap Screws: All original assembly-line starter delays have cap screws with a "C" marking on the head. Screws with this head marking are no longer available, so I had tooling made and screws fabricated to exactly match the original screws.
Lead Wire: The lead wire is made up of 3-components; the elbow, the grommet, and the wire itself. The lead wire used on the original assembly-line starter delays is always a red wire with a single thin dark blue stripe. The lead wire on the service starter delays is red with a much wider light blue stripe in a spiral orientation (not lengthwise like the assembly-line version). I opted to use the assembly-line type of wire with the lengthwise stripe, not the service type with the spiral stripe. No correct wire with the dark blue stripe exists, so I had 25,000-feet of wire made that exactly matches the original wire.
Lead Wire Elbow: No perfect matches to the original elbows are available. The starter delay elbow is slightly different than the elbows used that connect to the starter solenoid and coil. Making a mold of the original starter delay elbow was the only way to guarantee that the reproduction elbows would be exactly the same as the originals.
Lead Wire Grommet: No perfect matches to the original grommet are available. Again, making a mold guaranteed matching the original.
