Hello All, I need to buy a 6v Starter Motor for my 54 Beetle. Any ideas on the best place to go... Cheers, Richard:d

Rebuilding cost here in Belgium about 75€

You can pick them up at most shows fairly cheaply. I'd guess folks who [i]upgrade[/i] from 6v to 12v just want to get rid of them! :shock: We're at Diva dubs etc. in Shropshire right now, which isn't too far from you -- is it any help if I see if there's one here and let you know how much the seller wants? Edit: Oh, are you looking for a year-correct '54 one? If so then I haven't seen one here.

Thanks for the responses. I have just had the car back with the starter re-built.....It is loads better but if it doesn't catch first time it still has trouble starting....any ideas...voltage regulator? Richard:?
