Starter motor

[jss777]

Having finally rebuild engine the last item to go on was the starter... and guess what the exchange unit I was supplied is wrong and does NOT have the solenoid mounted underneath, therefore fouls the manifold. Of course the factors where I got the exchange unit no longer has my original and cannot find a listing for the correct one! (SD1 Vitesse?).
Please can anyone give me a Lucas part no. for them to x ref or any other make part number (apart from Rimmer Bros No.).

The problem is that the same part number is used to cover a variety of starters some of which fit and some don't. I do know that some owner have resorted to opening all the units that a factor has to get the right one!

Common problem for MGBV8 as well.

Usually a high torque small bodied Range Rover unit will fit but again worth checking before parting with cash.

havent fitted it yet but looks small enough to me.

Try asking RT racing. They fitted a new solenoid on my starter last year. The solenoid has always been on top of the starter and the starter still fits under the manifold.
