Choice of Rear Axle

[Stuart Giles]

Re. the starter motor issue on the Reliant OHV motor, the engine plate at the rear of the motor can be reversed so that the starter then sits on the passenger rather than the driver side. It's necessary to cut a small chunk out of the gearbox bellhousing to provide clearance for the starter's Bendix when the starter is fitted on the left hand side. Pretty well all the Reliant engined F750 cars were set up like this as the driver usually sits alongside the motor.
