When I was unable to find anyone to re-build my BJ8 starter, I went with a =
gear reduction from British Car Specialist (the install was a nightmare as =
there was less clearance due to the hydraulics and I destroyed the copper l=

ter to someone in San Jose who replaced the spring for $20. Anyone want to =
buy an original starter?

Just sayin' ??

Hi All,
I've decided to replace my BJ8 starter with a gear reduction starter from B=
ritish Parts Nortwest. The part number is: 16131AHD
Are there any opinions or experiences from anyone on the list as to whether=
this is a good choice?
Thanks in advance,
Dave Masucci
