Heartily second this. When I restored my rusted '59 TR3A, it had sat for 27
years. I had the starter rebuilt, reinstalled it, and it didn't work. Turns
out, someone had bought a new starter...a bullet-nose...and it was the wrong
one for the flywheel. That actually might have been why somebody parked it in
the first place back in 1973, being unable to figure out why it wouldn't
start....
