Hi Tassman.
I am assuming that you are restoring the car and you may have the starter motor on the bench.
I can give you the genuine part number but will be of no use as most of the non genuine manufacturers
in the early days, 60's & 70's,did not use or obtain the genuine part number to have as a cross reference
to their own part number.
The best thing to do is to take the starter to an auto electrician and get them to test it and repair.
Quiet a few of the Japan manufacturers basically used one of two major auto electrical companies to
supply components to their requirements. These being Hitachi or Mitsubishi. Getting brushes, I don't think,
will be a problem as these manufacturers will produce a brush to suit a multitude of starters and getting non
genuine will not be a problem for the auto electrician.
