    Again, this is something I have already restored before starting YT. So I bought this one from eBay for the channel. It was the worst one I could find as I like a challenge.

    PROCESS:
    Firstly I dismantled the starter completely. I then sent most of the parts to the very handy parts washer which removed all dirt, grease or oil. I then made sure they were completely dry before taking them to the blasting cabinet for blasting. As for the internal parts, I cleaned them by hand with contact cleaner. I then prepared the outer parts for painting by degreasing and masking. Once hanging in the paint room, I hit them with two light coats of etching primer, two coats of high-build primer and sanded that back with 400 and 800g sandpaper. I then applied two coats of base coat before two coats of lacquer.
    Whilst that was drying I set about polishing the solenoid 'thing' and all the other small internal pieces. This was in preparation for the electroplating that came next. Whilst I waited for paint and passivate to dry I made a start on the motor brushes. They were all quite worn and uneven. I bought four brushes that were as close to what I needed but a little bit bigger. I could then resize them to the perfect size. I had trouble finding the correct sized brushes.
    I removed the old brushes with heat and pulling power, die grinder the old spot well off and solder on the new brushes ensuring the solder was super solid before continuing. Controversial I know. But I do not have a spot welder. I then opened my starter motor repair kit, found the pieces I could swap out and it was time to reassemble.
    Once back together I attached the positive end of a car battery to the continuous live on the stater and the negative to the metal body. I then joined the live 12v to the ignition terminal and the starter both span the motor and moved the solenoid forward. Restoration complete.

    Wow! Steve!! I am so impressed! I used to restore classic Mustangs and had to replace many starters, but I never considered rebuilding them myself. You make something intimidating look easy. I like how you used a socket to make the brushes open for the armature. This was really impressive. Thanks for showing us how to do this. I like all the new tools and gadgets you have.

    Nicely done.
    A few comments.
    Put some grease in the black cap held in with 2 screws on the motor case, that will keep the bronze bearing lubed and hopefully most of the water out.
    Try some aluminium tape for masking off for bead blasting.
    The pause after the brush block pushed out was classic, silence can say a lot.
    Loved your use of the strainer to hold parts in the bead blaster and the socket as a spacer on the brush block.
    Have you thought about doing a video or 2 on the care and feeding of spray guns and how to set them up to spray correctly? You know what the various bleed screws do and how to avoid runs etc.
    Hope you had a great Christmas and have a happy new year.
    Cheers.

      I applaud the effort you put into disassembling, cleaning and painting the E30 components featured in these videos but find it altogether abhorrent you characterize what you're doing as restoration. I suspect those that "disliked" the video share a similar sentiment. With the level of incorrect finishes showcased, crude disassembly, incorrect reassembly of components, and general lack of attention to details that go into an accurate restoration... i find myself annoyed by the use of the word. Keep honing your skills and improving your techniques, the work you're doing is perfectly admirable under a different descriptor.

    Coming from me, a guy who rebuilds starters and alternators for a living, well done. couple things I will point out is that you should of removed the paint from around where the negative brushes touch the back plate. you do want to make sure the negatives had a good ground with the front housing of the starter. the whole back plate assembly along with armature and brush holder could have been assembled before putting the armature into the starter body. This goes for all bosch made starters. I did have a good chuckle when I saw the armature shoot into the body lol. all in all very well done keep up the great videos!

      @mercer982 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Josh. I have an bosch starter in my vw and if im not mistaken it's the very same starter. The problem with it is that the bendix doesn't seem to back up from the fly wheel quick enough so it oftem makes this howling noise... is this something i can fix just by cleaning it? I've heard that in atleast 70% of the cases "bad starter motor" is actually just a dirty one that needs some cleaning in order to work properly. Those bosch ones especially, they are well build starters.

    • @JoshuaRichardHancock
      @JoshuaRichardHancock 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Mercer Frey what happens with a Volkswagen Bosch starter is the the bendix gear is a shaft that drives through a bushing on the front housing of the starter. A lot of the time this is caused by the bushing drying out of its self lubricants. Greasing up the Bendix shaft should fix your issue. If you activate the starter solenoid without activating the motor you can grease the shaft easily. Hopefully this fixes your issue. The starter will make a howling noise after engaging the flywheel. This is why.

    The brushes were mechanically fastened because starter motors can get hot enough to melt the copper [and solder].
    This [obviously] does not happen unless the starter motor is run continuously under load for an extended period of time >30sec. Worked at a rotating electrical re-manufacturer and have seen it more times than I can remember.

    For the grinder, bolt it to a base that has a lip to overhang the bench. It won't move much then, as you're always pushing on a grinder, never pulling. You could even make a notch in the bench to stop side-to-side. The setup remains portable.

    using a socket as a slave pin was a good idea. I have been a professional transmission rebuilder for 45 years. you do good work. but take my advice if your transmission ain't broke don't fix it. clean it up and paint if you want, but if its working leave it alone. the things you have done up till now is child's play compared to the BMW manual transmission, you will be in a nightmare if you have never done 50 or so of them before,,,,,,,,,,,

    Quick question - Why wouldn't you use temporary bolts in the threads instead of masking tape for the blasting and/or painting?
    Would also give you somewhere else to tie the hanging wires to.
    Plus all the bolts could be reused for the next restore project.

    • @RestoreIt
      @RestoreIt  5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Thank you Juan! Depending on how bad of a car you start with will depend on money. But in all seriousness for a full restoration like this you are looking at 20k plus not including time or tools. Great fun, very stressful at times, but well worth it in the end (i'm sure)

    Yeah, I did the starter for my bike. Starts out scary then little by little you realize there's no magical science to it. Love the detail work. I spend many years working on cars. Once in a blue moon I'd see a car that looked as good underneath as the rest did. Always thought it would be fun to do.

    After we saw Chip Foose, we all know, it needs only 3 days to restore a car. Now, this is the hard way. The way that really works. Needs a long time, and hard work. And is not real cheaper than new parts. But at the end, you have done it yourself. And you know, it´s done right. And, not to forget, you have a car, which is better than new. Well done.

    Very well done there! Great your videos, and no need for distracting music. Remember doing my Magneti Morelli starter restoration on M42. Put time into it and did almost everything as you did, except filming, zinc coating and painting the necessary parts. I wish I could have blasting case and the painting tools and skills you have. Yet the starter motor running strong as from the factory and smoothly, probably also better in a long term than those new age ones.

      Паять щетки в автомобильных стартерах нельзя, только контактная сварки или прикручивать. Слишком большие токи проходят по проводникам это ведет их к большому прогреву, отпаяется очень быстро.

      That's why the brushes are attached by copper braid.
      It's usually used for _desoldering_ and it holds up to
      current quite well at that short distance.

      Припаяйте два провода и замкните на аккумулятор, место пайки сразу разомкнется не успев хорошенько раскалить провод. Пайка в таких агрегатах недопустима, не просто так щетки (отвод сетка) сваривается контактной сваркой или прикручиваются болтами.
