I'm not familiar with MGAs to any great degree, but I'll assume you have
the same inertial type starter that I have in my '65 B. These gears and
armatures are no longer available, so rebuilding can be problematic.
I use a fellow in Seattle, Bob at Precision Electric, 425-486-5400. He
is a certified Lucas repair shop, and rebuilt mine for $100, including a
good used armature that he refurbished. He has a supply of parts for
these old beasts, unlike most folks.
Good luck!
