Starter Rebuilders

[mrm930]

Hey all;
Seems lately that the number of electric/auto rebuilders are diminishing greatly. Does anyone know of a good Bosch starter rebuilder that is still in business today. I looked at older posts and called a few noted - however they are not longer in business. I have 2 starters from SWB Porsches and would like to retain and use these if at all possible.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

I've had very good experiences with ABC Partswerks in Naples, FL. They rebuilt both the original starter and alternator for my 1969 911S. Their phone number is: 920-378-5538.

Good luck,

I would assume that you are aware that there are high-torque starters that weigh significantly less than the Bosch unit and will plug & play with our cars? Less draw on the battery is another feature.

For the sake of originality, a lot of owners will put in the high-torque unit and hold onto the Bosch starter if someone wants 100% correctness down the road. Although I have heard that the judges generally won't ding you in a concours for this upgrade.

I only bring all of this up because I just had a very pleasant experience with HIPERFORMANCEUSA on eBay who has been selling remanufactured high-torque mini-starters for several years there with a very good track record.

[I have NO AFFILIATION with this seller.]

There is a great place in North-Hollywood/Burbank which my friend used for 40+ years while running his shop. Th name escapes me but I am sure some of the members from that area will know.
