[TR] Tr3a High Torque Starter

[Andrew Uprichard]

High-torq starters are up there on the “what are the best things to do when restoring a TR3” list, along with overdrives, electronic ignition and rack and pinions (in my opinion).

 

Remember that you need to match the starter to the gear drive on the flywheel, as you have to for the older starters.

 

When they come, if you want to utilize your solenoid, you need to bypass the solenoid on the starter.  Or, you can do a very elegant trick, whereby you can use the old solenoid without passing all the juice through it by wiring it as shown in the pic.

TSI is the source for the longest lasting variety.  Some of them have had issues with wires breaking inside due to vibration, Ted's got that issue solved.

I am now in for a penny and a pound 😊 I am thinking while the new radiator is going in ( all wiring is not good ).  To replace the “heavy weight” starter.  What is the collective recommendations on a high torque starter?  I have found a number of ones running in the $195USD range….
