'51 and early '52 Henry J starter button
« on: May 01, 2016, 09:34:31 PM »
This is the starter button used on the '51 Henry J and '52 Henry J Vagabond which were equipped with Autolite starters.

Rather than spend money on this rusty, corroded example, you can buy a new one for half the price  -

it's the same part.

I didn't know that, Lowell! Good information. My dad told me years ago that many of the HJ front end parts were that same as '55 Chevy.
