STARTER MOTOR FITTING ISSUE
i have just fitted a type 9 gear box from a sierra into my car and am powering it with a 1.8 zetec on bike carbs with a skimmed and polished head. i
cannot see how the starter motor will fit... it looks as thought the block gets in the way and only half the hole is showing where the starter fits
into to? do you have to cut abit of the block away? do you have to modify the gear box? is this just me being stupid or what i have an LRS707 Starter
motor. any help will be greatly appreciated.

Is it a silvertop or blacktop, the silvertop needs a mod on the sump to create a recess for the starter also you need the starter off a 2litre dohc or
1.8 cvh sierra . You can use the pinto sarter but need a 14mm spacer making up to move the starter backwards as it is too long
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

If its a Blacktop you have to hack a fair bit off the Ali finning and gearbox mounting face on the sump and have the right starter you can use the
original starter but you have to space it a fair bit.
You do realise the starter fits onto the gearbox where it used to not where the Zetec starter fitted, which is a mistake thats been made before.

Im having to trim my sump at the mo. The standard CVH S/M is too large, even after modification to the sump:
Apparently some aftermarker replacement S/Ms are smaller, so Im now after one of those.

I've hacked alot of the ali away from my sump to get the CVH starter to fit (I hope as I havent tried it yet). You can see how much I have
chopped off Here
