Hi All,

are the high torque starters worth upgrading too?

Andy

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.

Hi Ian,

can you post a picture of it if poss.rimmer bros has one but £195,think its a bit pricey.what do you think ian.


yes tony

thats one one,while trying to the van running after 6 weeks layed up my friend steve said its a bit lazy the starter and said about getting one.

Andy

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

just got a denso mini starter for the rover from autopost and is about £90.00
and fantastic all i want to do all the time is crank the engine as this starter is so pwerfull as my v8 is high compression

That looks like one to me,

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