Solenoid fell out of my starter, after cap/plate screws came undone & no gasket?


Recommended Posts

Of course it's a "rebuild" by Duralast done in Mexico. It's the "newer" type Nippon Denso (I guess?) compared to my original one, which I would guess is totally original to the car- which has a rubber/neoprene gasket under it's cap/plate..

 

so I got lucky and found my solenoid piston & spring, cap plate and one screw - and this "newer" design uses smaller screws (with star heads) compared to the Phillips headed ones on the old one - I wonder if this new one needs a rubber gasket (or any gasket) and if it's real important, or if I can make one out of cork? I don't have any sheet neoprene or fiber composition on hand right now, but if necessary I'll do it. I'm not in driving in severe weather or mud, etc. Live in L.A.

 

Thank You

Craig
