TomGaval Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Guys, After eleven years I need to replace my Starter motor on my Rover K series. Caterham Parts list 2 different starter options, For my original one, I specced the upgraded starter. It utilized the spacer and mounted on the Threaded bar and with 2 other bolts. Do they both fit? Is their an advantage to one or the other? This is a left hand drive car so the clearance between the headers and steering column is tight. starter 1 starter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dignity Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Like many people on here I have upgraded to the Brise Starter here Light weight and the solonoid can be placed away from the primaries. Not sure about LHD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom White Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 The Brize starter fit a LHD car no problem. If you buy one (highly recomended) be aware that you can rotate the mounting flange to suite your setup. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Payne Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I replaced my started that looked like "starter 2" with "starter 1" a few years ago without any problems. It has the advantage that the soleniod is mounted on the bottom, further away from the exhaust manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomGaval Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Thanks guys. Upon further review, I noticed that starter #2 is listed as for those after 2004. Mine car is a 2000. I'll look into the Brise. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnty Lyons Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 😬 Brise IMHO works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
