Suggestions for modern Starter Solenoid

lukeya · Jun 2, 2011

Did anyone have any practical suggestions BTW for a modern replacement (fascinating though the debate was).

My Lucas (Mini) solenoid/relay/contactor is welding shut leading to a frightening intermittent fault with a permanently on starter motor, unless I clout the relay with a spanner.

Kind regards

Panasonic AEV14012, not tried it but good spec.

I have to admit I don't know about the specs, but I have been running one of these with a 4 pole prestolite starter and large battery.

It's a bolt in replacement for the original.

Fantastic suggestion, thanks. Sadly they won't ship to Canada - what's with that?
