Cheapo AC Delco Starter Rebuild

[LT1 Burb]

I needed a new starter for my 65 resto project and wanted to keep date coded AC Delco starter I had. Well as luck would have it I had a Cardone starter laying around so decided to see if I could steal some parts out of it. As you can see the brushes on the AC Delco were shot. I had to remove and swap the armatures as the Cardone rotor was slightly bigger in Diameter, bead blasted and painted the case , Delco stamping shows up nicely. Bead blasted the nose and cleaned it out and installed the rotor with the brushes out of the Cardone starter.
