[WANTED] parts for my B&M StarShifter

[str12-340]

I need to replace a part on my B&M StarShifter and am hoping somebody has one for parts laying around. What I am looking for is the spring arm that fits into the scalloped plate that positively locates the shifter in various gears. This is a small black spring arm that is riveted to the shifter frame. Old ones were one piece and later ones are two pieces riveted together. Would buy a parts shifter body to get the correct part.

Let me check, I think I have one of those shifters that's just lying around. I will get back to you tonight or tomorrow.

Sorry, but I have to ask, did you try B & M?

yeah... B&M now owned by Holley. The only parts that they sell are cables, the plastic housing, the shiny plate on top, shifter handles - basically the exterior bling stuff, and cables - otherwise you have to buy a whole shifter. If you have your receipt and the shifter is broken they will send you a whole shifter apparently forever for free, but I bought this unused from a friend 10 years ago.

I'll look, I might have my receipt from the 70's. No promises. What does your broken one need? Is it still in use?

 

[str12-340]

The first post shows a spring arm that fits into the detentes in a scalloped plate. It positively locates each gear and the ratchet shifter will not function at all without it. The one in the picture is a later improved design (hence the one I am looking for). My old shifter has the original design which was a single piece of spring metal fashioned into a U shape. Mine broke at one of the bends. If I can get a receipt, they will take the old shifter and send me a new one.
