If its for the F-head, you're going to need to order it. No place is going to have it in stock. Maybe you can have it shipped to your hotel, if thats where you are going?

 

If you're not worried about originality you might consider a starter from a Toyota Land Cruiser, great upgrade and relatively easy to find. http://www.earlycj5.net/forums/showthread.php?95765-134-f-head-starter

 

We have good rebuilders in France, for electric parts too. Maybe it is the solution.

 

Rock Auto, maybe?

 

When I was looking for a drive for mine I was looking in the $75 range from Walchs or Kaiser Willys. Got the whole Toyota starter for under $50.

 

Yes i can have it shipped at the hotel in chicago

 

So Pack rat where can i find a toyota starter
In chicago for less than 50 $

 

I got mine at Rock Auto and being in Canada and only an hour from the border had it sent to my shipping address in Michigan so shouldn't be a problem for them to send it to your hotel. I was just over there checking them out and they've gone up to around $55 plus shipping. $17 or so of that is core charge which I didn't worry about.

 

What happens at Customs when you try to carry that home?

 

I think I would check with Toyota dealers in France before trying to bring one back from the US on an international flight.

 

thanks every body for your help!
at the end i order for a starter drive for $45 and $10 for shipment.
i have got the part in time.
still have a probleme with this part: i turn it to make apears the pin hole and now it is blocked open is it normal?

 

Yep that is normal. It takes the engine running to throw the drive back.

 

ok so i just have to mount it like that?

 

can i do someting by myself to get it close?

 

I have fond is video to solve my problem
