Starter for Coventry Climax FWMP? Gaskets?

[cmb]

Does anyone know which electric starter is appropriate for the Coventry Climax FWMP (fire pump) engine? It looks like the threaded holes for the mounting studs are 2.5 inches (63.5 mm) apart. From what I've read, the starter for the Hillman Imp has wider spacing on the mounting studs, so I'm thinking that's not the right part.

I'm also looking for a full gasket set for this engine, particularly the head gasket. It's the 742 cc with the 2.53 inch (64.26 mm) bore. Any ideas where to look?

Wow, that's esoteric!

I've no idea -- Mike Brotherwood almost certainly does. Google will find.

Colin,

Best bet for anything Climax related is will@mk14 components, sells Wosp/Denso high performance starters and I am sure gasket sets.

Thanks very much for the leads. I'll ask Mike and Will to see what's available.

Hi, I have just joined the site and seen this. Did you get your starter? I have one here I won't be using for mounting reasons. If you still need...PM?
