john.r.davies Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 All, Not Triumph, but a Rover V8 related question for the assembled gurus, please. I'm fitting an ex-Range Rover engine to a space frame chassis, with not a lot of space. In particular, the starter solenoid that sticks out horizontally from the starter has less than zero clearance from a strut, that I don't want to cut or carve. I need an alternative starter that has the solenoid projecting downwards, where there is plenty of space. I've searched this forum, and found a thread where the poster refers to his new starter, that is like mine, but "unlike the original one" that stuck out below. No other ID, but I presume that some car that had the RV8 engine had a starter like that. I have no 'orginality' issues, just need a starter that fits! Advice please?

jrv8 Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 hi John, What you're looking for is an SD1 starter motor. They all have the solenoid pointing downwards. Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mighty Mite Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 How about a big handle coming off the crank going through the front panel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
