<VV> FC starter nosepieces, variations.

[William J. Meglen]

Thanks for the input!  Unanimous that '60 nose is what I have and that the starter nosepiece is unique to the  Corvair. I have other Chevy starter motors.  Jury is out on causation but all 3 opinions offered are valued.  I will install the ’60 starter or nosepiece as long as it doesn’t materially affect access from above on my ’62 Rampside. Appreciate the responses.

I found another starter in my spares but note that the solenoid is positioned (clocked) differently  so that it will position the solenoid in a lower position then the one I pulled from the vehicle. It looks like it will make the solenoid slightly less accessible from above.  I have not yet fitted it but I'm curious as to why it differs from the one that broke?
