You might be pleasantly surprised if you try a knowledgeable import car
parts place. 3 or 4 years ago, I went in to my local Beck-Arnley reseller
and was able to get a rebuilt starter for my Dad's '52 MG TD, (with proper
inspection bands, etc) for $48 outright, no core charge. They ordered it
from a rebuilder called Precision, based in Chicago, and it arrived in 3 days.
My neighbor the mechanic tried to get me to retrofit a Japanese unit for
reliability. No idea if it would even be feasible.
