for the 1950 it is located here for flywheel/clutch specs

or here for starter motor specs

it would be good to bookmark the page for further assistance later. if you hit the year specific index you can pick which year or model. some years have better laid out info than others.
good luck, hopefully you can getthis figured out before you have to buy a flywheel ring gear. I think the 6volt and 12 volt ring gears are different inside diameters so, unless you have a line on one, it could get spendy in a hurry for you. |
Further to this thread.
In the end I simply removed the gearing (bendix) from the 6v starter motor and fitted it to a 12v motor. Only two long bolts separates the gearing. Works fine now.
