How have you guys dealt with the deteriorating pot metal end plate on 1920 era Remy generators?

I have a 1925 Remy Generator 917-R on my 1925 Stutz 693 Roadster and the end plate that holds the brushes is starting to fall apart and must be replaced.

Thank you all in advance.

Dan

I have a good restorable 1928-29 era REMY 947-A generator. It has no mounting ears, probably secured with a clamping mechanism.

Do you know the Remy part number for the end plate? I'll try to see if I can find a part number breakdown, the end plate may interchange.

dep5,

Thank you for the reply. I do not know the part number for the end plate but have included photos.

The generator is a 917-R three brush 18 amp counter-clockwise rotation unit. 8.0 - 8.5 hot test volts at 1800 to 2000 rpm.

It looks like the end frame is the bug. ( I think some starters of that era used a similar casting) These interchanges may provide a clue to a donor or replacement generator. Good Luck.(My generator uses same bearings and brushes but end frame is different, it won't help you)

I found a pattern maker that will make me a pattern, have the piece cast out of aluminum then machined to final dimension.

I do not have his final pricing yet but may consider having a few extras made to offer for sale.

You might check with the Stutz club - someone told me these may have been made in Australia. We needed one very quickly a couple of years ago and found a Chevy starter end that would work (not correct, but functional)and I never followed up on the Aussie ones. If you make or find them, let me know, my friend may want one too. The originals are notoriously prone to trouble. Dave Mitchell packard12s@hotmail.com
