dinger Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Bought a pre engaged starter motor from a fleabay Trader advertised as suitable for a Triumph 1500 TC.Item is in good condition but has threaded mounting holes in differring position to original .Trader claims it to be the unit to suit models between 1971-1973 and that the later ones were different ..
