JJC Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Just about to start rebuilding my engine and have found out why I have a bomb starter on a TR4. Somewhere in its history a flywheel with shrink on ring gear was used. My plan is to reuse the flywheel and ring gear and buy a replacement high torque starter for the early ring gear. I know these are good because I have one on the TR2. Does anyone know why I shouldn't do this? And then sell the bomb starter of course! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JJC Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Cant see any reason why not.Stuart. Nor can I, but you never know. I've bought a much later gear box (one with the magic vibration damper) so I guess it will pay to make sure the starter motor fixing holes are in the same place on the casing. The slight worry I have is the clutch. Some of the parts lists talk about compatibility with input shafts and I haven't really grasped what they're on about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
