Apart from Hondas, what other cars spin the wrong way?
I'm looking for a very compact starter that spins the same way as the B-series Hondas, that is the opposite to Fords, VX etc.
Anybody got any really bright ideas?

Turn it so it faces the other way. ie mount it in the bellhousing.

Only the Hondas as far as I can remember turn anti-clockwise. Quite a few starters do. Thats 'cos they're mounted from the bell-housing
side on some cars FWD cars.

It's no good just making the motor spin in the wrong direction, as the bendix screw will no engage the gear, so as above ^ mount a standard one
the other way around.

The way a starter motor spins depends on whether its engine side or gearbox side and virtually any manufacturer will have either variety accross their
range, so you dont have to look only to honda to find something thats the other way to what you have. I'm fairly sure wiring one up the wrong
way could be problematic - they use the chassis/case as earth and even if you succeded getting one to spin backwards i think youd have problems with
the solenoid/pinion not engaging and/or disengaging corectly. Damn it takes ages to type on one of these phone thingies.

Some older Simca (1000, 1100, Chrysler Alpine and Horizin) engines turn in the wrong direction

Cheers all - it's for an electric reverse mounted at the sprocket adaptor end.

VAG starters run the "wrong way" check my archive and do a search for electric reverse. Been covered many times.
