Dannyb Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 After fitting my new flywheel and clutch after the crank bolts came loose on the RBRR and locked everything solid. I have now found out the starter motor is burnt out. I have now a new high torque starter on it's way from SC https://www.scparts.co.uk/sc_en/high-performance-starter-motor-1-142714.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAm5viBRD4ARIsADGUT26rM93RDcvzdL5IxcvAZT_iuztAJDVQWVoAqTdn7DY4Rum12lO-SyIaAmofEALw_wcB But nobody from SC can tell me if I need the spacer or not. I suppose I will have to do some measuring. Has anyone on the forum fitted one of these from SC. Spitfire 1500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Danny, I would measure if I was you. Remember there are two sizes of spacers available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyb Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Thanks Tim, I will measure it but I did not know there were 2 sizes for the spacer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyb Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Fitted the starter today. After measuring it turns out the standard 1500 spacer was spot on. Looks like the starter front plate is machined to give the correct clearance with the standard spacer. Also the orientation of the starter with the front plate is also already correct.
