The 12V mini starters are available again from the vendor on ebay.  These are for Hydramatic cars only, unfortunately.  I have had one now for over a year on my '54 and it works great.  You will need to make a small change to the throttle linkage to make sure it does not rub, but otherwise it is a very simple install.  It weighs probably half of what the old one does.  I also bought one for my Packard V8 engine going into my Studebaker pickup but have not had a chance to install it yet.

    Ken I am not sure how long ago you got yours, but if you notice the holes are elongated in the ones now being produced.  I have had mine for about 1.5 to 2 years and no trouble so far.  I had to make a modification to my throttle linkage but it was easy.
