Hi Eddie, 

Have you tried Chris Witor, always a good source for quality used spares.

One of the components needs to have a leading edge this is for the above and also helps disengagement that is why many have had problems with so called high toque starters

Thanks Neil,

but why would 2 bevels Facing each other wear out quicker? That was a statement from a workshop in Richard’s post above.

Maybe less contact surface when in full contact (less tooth width in contact)?

Cheers,

Surely the contact area would be the same whichever side is bevelled?

Pete, I think not. If the ring is bevelled at the same side as where the pinion enters, that bevel on the ring does not support the pinion when fully engaged

Cheers,

Oh, is it only one side of each tooth that's bevelled then? Sorry, it's been a long time since I've looked. Now, I wonder where my spare flywheel is?

And why we had to take a trip to Stanwoods to get a new ring gear fitted the right way round on Em`s car

Yep and I repossessed the car

 In order to aid a starter drive pinion into mesh with a rotating ring gear 

The ring gear shouldn't be rotating when the starter is engaged. We know what happens when engaging the starter on a running engine; it fails to engage but makes a terrible racket.

Inspecting my spare TR250 engine last week it clearly has the chamfer on the rear face, and the starter was working just fine ( as was the motor; I swapped it for a Webered one from my crashed car ).

Hi Mark,

Looked on Chris Witors website and no flywheel or starter but have located a 2nd hand flywheel at Revington and cheap new starter on Ebay so restoration continues.

Thanks

Eddie
