Was getting click-click from gear reduction starter sometimes with fully charged battery.  Headlights dimmed when you cranked.  Positive terminal looked shabby so replaced it and thought problem solved.   No-so.    Replaced positive cable with Taiwan made repro from roadster factory and shimmed positive post for tight fit..   All appears to be good.     Old cable is LUCAS and likely original.

I think these gear reduction starters are Hitachi, so likely could be rebuilt by local auto electric shop if needed.
