58 Random Starting

[Philippe Courant <accf-club@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had the same problem on my '57 starter 2 years ago.. I try to 
short-wired the solenoid w/o result... I remove the starter and wired it 
, nothing happened ! I remove the brush, clean the rotor, etc.., no 
result. I let it fall from 1 foot on the ground and .. after wiring 
again, it worked !! The next day (before i re-installed it..) it didn't 
work again. After another fall, ok !! Seems that ther's something wrong 
in the brush springs or posts.
i put another good working starter ..and since this time, it's always in 
the "waiting for repair" shelf
