[Fot] Starter Solenoid

[Paul Ricco]

Napa auto parts has a part number ST51. 

We went with as an emergency repair to replace a broken Lucas at the track on a Sunday. They were the only ones in the town open that had anything. The counter person spent an hour researching what they had that would work. It works. Very reliable. 

I think its actually for 60's era Ford trucks. The Tr4 does not seem to mind or be insulted by it any way.

Good Luck, 

Paul

Would also be interested in learning about any alternative brand that would be better in the long run.  In 20 years of running my Spit my 5th unit is on the fritz or is that the life span for these things?
