[Healeys] British Parts Northwest starter

[Harold Manifold]

Hello Dave,

I fitted a Denso gear reduction from British Parts Northwest about 4 years
ago. It has been trouble free so far. I have two OEM Lucas starters; both
require significant rebuilding. The OEM starters need new field windings
which was quite costly. One day I will have the Lucas starters rebuilt but
the new gear reduction starter cost less than the rebuild.
