When I was unable to find anyone to re-build my BJ8 starter, I went with a g=
ear reduction from British Car Specialist (the install was a nightmare as th=

it starts. A friend took my original starter to someone in San Jose who rep=
laced the spring for $20. Anyone want to buy an original starter?</div>
