Re: Christmas and starter motors.

Isn't it something like 'vacuum cleaner' starter (have a look at one off the car!)

Re: Christmas and starter motors.

The Brooklands book on the "Austin Seven and Ten" has on page 37 an excellent drawing of the type of starter motor in question - and more importantly illustrates the floor-mounted switch perfectly. Now if some kind Friend could kindly scan that illustration and put it up here (something I'm too dumb to do), Oliver would then know what he needs. Appreciate any help. Cheers, Bill in Oz

Re: Christmas and starter motors.

There's a 'non-bacon' starter housing on ebay:
