Bacon slicer alternative ?
|
22-02-2020, 04:20 PM
Since the bacon slicer in our car is always a source of regular trouble, would it be possible, as they write, to exchange one with this :
Hight torque starter. I guess one would have to source the later starter housing ? Thank you for any advice ! Ralf

Yes you can, Ralf. A common modification but only with a three speed gearbox if your engine has the starter motor in the cockpit. You do need to use the later starter housing. If I have a criticism it's only that they don't 'look' right but most of those I know are in competition cars so that's academic.

Steve - thank you for the quick reply.
I wouldn´t mind the look if I could get rid of the bacon slicer... :-) So I would have to source the later housing - anyone having one collecting dust ? Ralf

And if you're feeling like a proper engineer you can bypass the expensive new starter and adapt one from a Rover 75 V6.

Did not now about that possibility - they are a bit rare around here ! ;-)
But could go that way, but still will need to find that later housing.
