Pulled the dash out, took my CD player out to liverpool to have it repaired after it fell victim to my leaky front screen rubber

also, went and bought some 6x9's and some wood (verrry tricky fitting large pieces of ply in a mini..) so i could knock up a boot board and possibily some speaker pods to go in the rear bins (just like nullabar express' pods)

After watching Skender's GT go through some starter troubles at the Geelong Dyno day, I marched out to find that mine wouldn't start on the button either :shock:

I thought Sken must have been pulling my leg!

I got a jump and took the car home and checked and excluded the battery or solenoid. So I pulled down the starter and found that the stator winding (made out of coiled 1/4" copper strap) had a fracture and had snapped. A little more high tin content soldering required, but should be fixed tomorrow...

Mick, did it fracture at a solder joint (dry joint) or the copper it self?

hahahahaha - must've been the day for it!!!

the car I did the hydro job for wouldn't start, we reckon the starter is cactus, then I went to start mine and the starter just spun like the bendix wouldn't throw

I got into my Morris this morning and when I turned the key... you guessed it, the Gemini starter worked beautifully as usual.

I put a new carpet set in (thanks Trimm), and put new vinyl on the lower dash rail. Yet to do the top. Oh, and I put new vinyl wheel arch trims over the back wheel arches. The interior is looking smick now, just a few little jobs to finish off.

Mick, did it fracture at a solder joint (dry joint) or the copper it self?

It fractured between the starter cable terminal and the 1st stator coil.
