Hi Hal,  
  Since you are addressing starters.....
  My TD engine is being rebuilt, so I took the starter to my friendly
local starter/generator shop to have them solder in new brushes.  The old
timer cleaned it up and all the cotton wrap washed off the field
windings.  He didn't do anything wrong; I had noticed the wrap dangling
when I gave the starter to him.
  Today he told me that the insulation between the strips of copper that
are wound to make the field coils is suspect, and that he is having
trouble locating the insulation.  It looks like 3/16" gasket paper to
this layman.  Is that insulation available anywhere, and can it be
pressed into the space between the copper once the fields are unbolted
and removed?
