[Healeys] Gear reduction starter installation

[Jorge Garcia]

I purchased a gear reduction starter from British Starters and I tried fitting it to the bell housing and found that if I lined up the bolt holes the starter would hit the scuttle or the frame rails. Is there a proper way to clock the starter so it will fit? In previous posts to the list some of you mentioned having to shim the starter in order to get a proper fit. Couls you explain what exactly did you shim and what was used as shims?
Thanks
