RE: gear reduction starter for '62 TR4

I replaced mine a few years ago with one from Moss on my TR4A daily driver. 
Had two malfunction for the same reason; water got into the solenoid and 
gummed up the works. Moss replaced both free, no questions asked. The third 
one has a nasty habit of spinning the starter but not engaging the gear, 
but it only occurs once or so a month.

Even with the problems they're FAR BETTER than the original units. Lots of 
spin. Highly recommend them.

As I recall the base unit is a Hitachi found on many Subaru's, then 
modified for our LBC's.

Good luck!
