These are two separate questions for my '59 TR3.
1. I have been advised to replace my rather weak original starter with 
a modern high torque starter by a couple of folks who have already done 
this. I know these are sold by the big 3, but I understand they are 
just a Toyota (?) part.  So, does anyone know what the part # is and 
whether I can just buy one at my local parts store?

2. I need to replace my wire wheels, and understand that the Drayton 
wheels are better than the Dunlop wheels.  Also, I have read that the 
60 spoke wheels are the ones to get.  As these are a half inch wider 
than the 40 spoke wheels, I was wondering if there are any problems 
with them hitting the fenders.  I noticed that Moss Motors said they 
are fine for earlier cars.  And last, where is the best place to buy 
them.

Thanks in advance.
