Re: IML: 59 Imperial crown starter boot?

Hi Tom and David,

Yep, the 59 and 60 starters are the same (and quite hard to find these days..) and they do have a rubber boot over the fork to protect the mechanism from moisture, dust etc.

I am still looking for a new boot too, but without success so far.

Maybe Gary Goers have them? Since he is the guy that duplicates lots of rubber Chrysler/Imperial parts he might also have this item.

I will check his catalog, the reason that I didn't do that earlier is the fact that Gary is not the fastest shipper in the world....(to put it nicely :)

So if anyone on the list knows a source for those rubber starter fork boots, please let us know!!

I believe the 59 and 60 starters are the same and it does have a rubber boot over the fork. I couldn't find one when I had my starter rebuilt.

Subject: IML: 59 Imperial crown starter boot?

I am rebuilding my 1959 Imperial Crown starter. Does this starter come with a rubber boot to protect the solenoid to starter gear fork? If so, does anyone know of a source for new rubber boots? I bought an NOS boot for another Plymouth that I have and the rubber ( being 46 years old ),

was very rigid. When I removed my starter from the engine on the 59 Imp. it did not have any rubber.

Thanks, David
