Make a couple more posts so you can have access to the private message function and send a PM to TPR57C. He's a long time stovebolter from New South Wales, and there's a pretty good chance he will know where to find parts for your starter down under. We would need to know how the system was converted, as the 6V and 12V armatures have different dimensions, and they do not interchange. A 6V starter works well on 12 volts, as long as the number of teeth on the flywheel gear match the starter. 6V flywheel gears have 139 teeth. 12V flywheel gears have 168.
