Anyone know enough about Lucas interchangability to
advise me on this one?  I would like to get a Tilton
super starter for my TR-4; the high compression motor
is really hard on starters (as one of our members might 
remember ;-}  Anyway, Tilton doesn't list one for the
TR.  They have a listing for one that fits: "Jag 4.2, MGB,
Jensen Healey 907 motor, may have other British applications."
When I talked to Tilton, they said they could make one if
I sent them an old starter, but it would be pretty expensive.
I then talked to Pegasus Racing who distribute the starters,
adn they said that the starter for a Formula Ford 1600/2000
is a "generic Lucas two bolt mounting".  He claimed that the
Lucas starters (with two bolts) all used the same mounting
plate and that the Formula Ford one *might* work.  Anyone
know?

Thanks much,
John
