Hi All,

are the high torque starters worth upgrading too?

hi andy,
im after a better starter too,
been told the gear reduction ones are the way to go (maybe the same one as your asking about)
BUT i need one that has a solenoid hung underneath (as per sd1 starter) otherwise it fouls my steering column

I use the gear reduction starter from a V8 Sherpa, Brilliant bit of kit,, turns 11.8.cr with lots of advance without a problem.

Andy sorry no pics without removing the engine, but I think the sherpa one is the same as the RR one,

I've got 12:1CR and the stock starter is working wonderfuly for me! Interesting... Well, lucky I suppose!
