Standard Lucas pre-engaged from the 60s-70s. David Green secondhand or various other car electrical reconditioners. If buying a replacement ensure the solenoid has the ballast shunt terminal if you have the 1968 separate coil shunt fitted.

You can buy the solenoid seperately if thats all thats wrong. I found when replacing my starter that fitting/removing the solenoid seperately made the job much easier.

Some months ago there was a write up in Take Five by Geoff Arthur on a replacement starter motor and it was given 9 out of 10.
A Powerlite RAC 318 at about £200
The only problem is if you still have a ballast resistor in use as the Powerlite does not provide the 12 volt output to boost the coil voltage during start up. Easily solved by converting to a normal 12 volt coil that is powered from a live while cranking ignition connection or conversion to electronic ignition would be an even better solution but that will require a new coil at the same time. If you do not fancy that the connection can be taken from the starter relay via a diode or simple relay.
