That earlier model Izuzu starter does fit but it still takes a little sheet
metal adjustment. The edge of the motor case just interferes with the edge
of the foot well. A little heat and few whacks with a medium sized hammer to
put a half-moon dimple in the seam and you have enough clearance. It turns
the engine over like stink. In fact, it is so fast that I am thinking of
using the starter like a passing gear.
This part of my project went well. The other part will be the subject of a
new thread which is sure to generate even more heat than the starter one.
Watch for it.
