[Fot] Gear reduction starter for TR-4

[N197TR4 at cs.com]

Our best experience so far is Ted Schumacher's offering.  I have had mine in the car since the late 90s.  Methinks care must be taken to present moisture from entering a 'weep' hole. Over the winter the result is some parts that become frozen.  Just happened to us, but cleaned it up and back in business.

The Gustafson unit may be just as good, but the wires should be stabilized with a little silicone, for use in a race car.  Your mileage may vary.
