Further to that and, slightly on the defensive, I had just rebuilt my =
Lucas starter motor and was on the verge of refitting it when I thought, =
=E2=80=9CGod, this thing weighs a ton and it=E2=80=99s really not that =
good at its job. So, maybe swap it for something smaller, lighter and =
more efficient=E2=80=A6?=E2=80=9D And then, =E2=80=9Cthe WOSPs etc are =
shorter so I=E2=80=99ll be able to fit a larger filter onto my SOSO. So, =
I went to the Dark Side!=20

I=E2=80=99ve heard it said by people that know about these things that =
BJ8s with their big HD8s need more life in their starters than, say, my =
BT7. ie WOSPS might be more necessary(?) in BJ8s.

Hi All,

=20

I've decided to replace my BJ8 starter with a gear reduction starter =
from British Parts Nortwest. The part number is: 16131AHD

=20

Are there any opinions or experiences from anyone on the list as to =
whether this is a good choice?

=20

Thanks in advance,

Dave Masucci
