I of course have the floor push button starter. I would need brushes, insulating washers and what not. I have seen all day where you can buy rebuilt ones but can you buy the rebuilding stuff?

The owner's name is Kenneth something and he is on the site sometimes. http://www.classicgenerator.com/I bought a starter rebuild kit from him, and it seemed to have all the parts I needed. I have no idea how the price compares with what your local parts store would have, but he knows his stuff. Whenever I visit my (American) FLAPS I end up spending days or weeks waiting for the wrong parts to come, after hanging in the store for an hour or so while they search the internet for a supplier as good as the one listed above...
