Andy Best Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 At the end of last year before moving house I bought a Brise starter motor. It is lurking in one of the boxes in the garage and I plan to find it & fit it over Easter. I seem to recall thinking this is not going to be easy as wires will need to be lengthened and crimps at the ends are different. To avoid getting to Sunday and finding I don't have all the right parts can the wisdom of blatchat let me know what I need to change the from original Caterham starter motor to the Brise. Car is a 97 K series. Thanks in advance Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Umm. The only thing I can remember having to do is to swap the position of the stud (there are two bolts and one stud). My cables didn't need to be changed. There are some pics and stuff on my site here I did grind the starter a little (to get it to sit right against the block), but this was no big deal. 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester Racing 7s Ecosse™ 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Best Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Thanks Myles my original starter is not the same as yours hopefully it will be an easy job though. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted March 18, 2008 Leadership Team Share Posted March 18, 2008 Andy, I think we discussed this, but if not .......... just make sure that the mounting face is absolutely square to the bellhousing - it wasn't when the starter was previously installed on my car (before my time I must add!) and hence Brise had to do the refurb on it. It may need a small amount extra grinding from the block but not a big deal in-situ. Stu.

oldbutnotslow Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 The axial Brise starter is an easy replacement and does not require any changes either if you have bought this one. Of course with no external solenoid you dont get the click! Grant Taylor - OBNS 183 BHP of Black and 'Stone Chip'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph7355 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Andy - how did you get one with this? I just bought a Brise and am having a nightmare fitting it. I *think* the mount plate on the Brise may be rubbing against the block, but having measured it up against the Magnetron one that just came off it, I can't see how (as they're the same size)!
