[TR] TR2/3 starter question

[Bob Danielson]

Just walked in from the garage having finished up installing Ted's starter
in my TR6. Straight forward installation. Perfect fit and it weighs a
whopping 11 pounds LESS then the original Lucas! It's obviously smaller also
and that made it an easy one person installation. As Randall noted, it does
sound a little different and it sure does spin the engine fast. Ted got a
lot of my money this past year but he also saved me a lot with his very
competitive prices.

Subject: [TR] TR2/3 starter question

Hello fellow listers:
Wondering on the wisdom of having my TR2 starter "rebuilt" before I install
it into my rebuilt engine. Anticipating the amount of cranking it is going
to be called on to deliver to get the engine going and adjusted, thought I
should pay some attention to the starter. We have an ex Lucas tech close by
who does very good rebuilding work on all manner of Lucas components.
On the other hand, what about foregoing the old starter and going to one of
the gear reduction units? Ted Schumacher has some great prices on them and
for little more than having mine rebuilt, I can get one of Ted's units.
Any experiences with the gear reduction units? A good bet?
Thanks in advance for any insights.
