[Healeys] hi torque starters

[m.g.sharp at sympatico.ca]

I echo Josef’s opinion.  I have never seen the need for a reduction motor.  The starter in my BT7 works faultlessly and I think I have only had it rebuilt once in decades of use.

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?
