[Healeys] hi torque starters

[josef-eckert at t-online.de]

We are selling these gear reduction starters and here I am responsible for 
customer complains with these. I can only say, the recuction starters fail 
very often and do not recommend them anymore to my customers. Many do not 
turn after a couple of months in use, others do not move in anymore and so 
fail completely.
I have the original starter motors in my Austin-Healeys, Daimlers and 
Morris and when they are once reconditioned/repaired they work for many 
years without failiure.
They are extremely solid compared to the modern gear reduction starters. I 
repair the original starters and would never change to the modern 
alternative.

I got mine from British Car Specialist. I was able to maintain the solenoid 
and it's remote starter function. The only problem I encountered was 
destroying the clutch hydraulics which ran below the starter motor.
 
Bolting it in place wasn't fun but that is another story.

I got my hi torque starter from AHSPARES, it’s a WOSP Performance brand .  
For my 67 BJ-8 . Bolt on , no mods . I left the starter relay bolted to the 
firewall . No wires going to it . Can’t say enough how much quicker the car 
starts up. Should have done it years ago. Just need to make sure the oil 
pressure is up cause  the motor starts right up . 
         Good Luck, Don

    I had the same question before adding a high-torque starter years ago
    but no solution is necessary.  It simply works!

      i was probably out to lunch when this question was answered but what
      is the solution to the fact that the ring gear is set up for the
      lucas starters engaging from behind the flywheel?
