[Healeys] Gear reduction starter installation saga continues

[PG]

Hi Jorge,

I installed mine today....seemed to go fine however, with respect to the
lower bolt, I reversed the direction.  Ie:  instead of the bolt facing
forward with the nut on the engine side, I had to reverse the bolt direction
and have the nut on the transmission side.

I spent the afternoon tinkering with the starter and got it clocked so that
it cleared the passenger toe box and the engine block. The top bolt no
problem but the bottom bolt not so good there is very little room for the
nut to fit between the starter motor and and the mounting tab. I should
clarify that the nut will just fit but not the nut and the lock washer. I am
thinking of finding a thinner nut that will fit with the lock washer. Any
ideas suggestions would be greatly apprciated.
