Starter problems
Think my starter needs looking at as it's barely turning the engine over with a good battery attached and 180amp boost charger. Does anyone know where to buy a service/re con kit? It's a RV8 SD1 engine circa 1980.

Whining 4 speed

It says 50 amps Any more than that and it will get hot That said my understanding is that you could run two strands Ian I will be running 2 from the alternator, as I understand that is how it's supposed to be done but needed a 2nd opinion to be sure.

Engine in with body, at last
Finally managed to get the body on the Dutton, at long last. Took a lot of cutting the fibreglass and huge amounts of swearing but got it done. Now I have to wire up and rebuild the floor and bulkhead, what joy.

Saw this on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Auto-Marine-THIN-WALL-Cable-6mm2-5m-long-xxx6TW-5-/110636541282?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D6277743823089507265 and wondered if it would be okay for the alternator? 2 prongs on back, 65amp output.
