Advice needed. Starter rewind from 6 volt to 12 volt
I accidentally posted this in the wrong place. I am not sure how to delete it from the tech library.
Hello all, I need a little advice. I am converting my CJ-3A to 12 volts. I have read that many Willys owners just pump in 12 volts to the 6 volt starter. I have a small background in old school electrical technology. I do know that this will create high starter current and, high stater torque. Both do not seem desirable to me. Has anyone gotten their starter motor armature rewound to 12 volts? Does anyone know of a reliable source?

Remember, with Jeeps, anything can and has probably happened. But, having said that - the ".. running a 6-volt starter on 12-volts wears out the ring gear/flywheel..." story is probably somewhere up there with fake news, sea stories and urban myths.
I'd worry more that Sasquatch is going to come out of the woods and eat your lunch.....
A fairy tale starts out; "Once upon a time ..."
A Sea Story starts out; "There was this one time when I was in ...."
After that, they are about the same.
Happy New Year guys!
