What is this (PIC)?

[deezgunz]

What is this and is there a modern equivalent? Can I bypass this part when wiring a new starter motor?

starter soleniod p/n 13H5952L, avail on host site... not that expensive.

Is it shot or what ?

[deezgunz]

Not shot. I was just wondering if its one of those weird unnecessary Lucas bits I can bypass. It is part of a 24 volt FFR that is being rewired to modern 12 volt civvy specs. Does it need to be replaced?

No need to replace unless you cannot start. Check with host, the 24V starter solenoid "may" be the same p/n as the 12V...not sure.

Many fords used the same type of solenoid. You can get them at any auto parts store. 12v and 24v solenoids are different because the coil is a different voltage.

Is there a starter solenoid built into your new starter? If so, then you don't need this. Since you are converting to 12V from 24V, you don't need this, but if there is no solenoid on the starter, you'll need a 12V version.

It is unlikely that the starter will be absent of a solenoid.

solenoid in british starters

i have a british starters starter motor with an internal solenoid. i will do away with the external solenoid. http://www.britishstarters.com/Land_Rover.html

Ah, sorry, was assuming you were just replacing with an OE starter.

Only if you're doing a concours restoration. There's nothing special about the wiring or how it works. $10 or $15 (maybe less) at your local auto parts store.
