It seems likely that the early cast body solenoids were fitted until the end of "roadster" production.

If anyone has a pre '63 car that has an original pressed steel solenoid I would appreciate hearing from you.<br>

Prior to about 1958 the starter solenoid used in Healeys was Lucas part number <span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; line-height:107%">
76411. This type of solenoid can easily be identified by having a cast aluminum body as on the left on the pic attached.

<span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; line-height:107%">Later cars and all subsequent Lucas replacements had a pressed steel body as illustrated on the right.<br>
