Samson CVRT starter Part Missing

[sexton]

I'm working on a Samson. When the starter button button is pressed, the motor spins up but the pinion doesn't kick out to engage with the ring gear. 

The starter was rebuilt about a year ago and just installed. I took it apart and the reason for this is obvious. The segmented ring installed in the solenoid bore that pushes the pinion out  is just missing.  The rebuilder forgot it, lost  it, or just decided to leave it out because it is a pain to install..  

Anyone know where i can get this ring and the garter spring that wraps around it?

Thanks, 

Malcolm

Forgot to mention, I can't find this part in the parts manual so I don't have a part number.

It's probably just a re-badged Lucas/CAV starter, so I'd have a chat with an auto electrician or someone else who repairs them?
