An armature assembly for a solenoid for use in an engine starting mechanism the armature assembly being of the kind comprising a hollow armature a link member including a first part housed within the armature and a second part which protrudes from the armature and a resilient longitudinally compressible element within the armature and acting on the link member to resiliently resist withdrawal of the link member from the armature. The method includes the steps of slidably engaging a first abutment member with said first part of the link member the link member having an abutment intermediate its ends which limits relative sliding movement between the link member and the first abutment member in one direction. A pair of compression springs are then engaged with the link member and abut at one end against the first abutment member the springs are then compressed so that the end of the link member protrudes from the end of the springs remote from the first abutment member and a second abutment member is then engaged with the projecting portion of the link member to retain the springs in a compressed condition acting between the two abutment members. The first part of the link member carrying the springs is then inserted into the hollow armature and the first abutment member is secured to the armature.
