We sourced one for out TR6 from Gustafson Specialty. It has worked great.
Not sure if they sell directly but I think they were happy to sell to a
local shop. They advertise in all major LBC magazines. I noticed on their
website that they address that very issue of how can one starter fit many
engines - they don't. What does TRF, Moss and VB offer?

Subject: [TR] TR3 Gear Reduction Starters
I am thinking about upgrading my post TS 60,000 TR3A starter to a
modern gear reduction starter. I am hoping that it will help make the car
easier to start on cold mornings.
I am looking at two of them on Ebay. One is from
Britishperformanceparts. It is $44 more expensive than the other. I tend to
like the guys ad. It could state more about what kind of starter it is. I
assume that it started as a Nippon Denso.

The other guy (Alterstart) states that his is a Nippon Denso, but
states that it fits all of the tractor engined TR's including the TR2. We
all know what happens when you put a later starter on an earlier starter
gear. This raises my suspicions on whether this guy can be trusted.

Any suggestions? Are there other sources that are recommended?
