elie boone Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 On the Zetec R the startermotor is the Lucas LRS707, this fit on the LHS of the engine (exhaust side ) but does anyone has a code for the same startermotor to be fit on the RHS of the engine ?

Molecular--Bob Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hi Elie Cant help you with numbers, but not sure it will fit. Which sump will you use? The starter on mine is exhaust side and a very close fit to my Scholar cut and shut sump. It requires a cut out plate that the stater rests in. Don't think the Raceline sump gives you the option either. That side of the block does have a high up space for a starter, but this doesn't line up with the starter position on a type 9 bell housing. If you need any pictures or measurements, let me know and ill see what i can do. Ian B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 The engine is a Dunnel with their low line sump,Bell will be RS2000 so that i have the option to use a startermotor on the RHS for a LHS drive car. It's Dunnel that provided the Lucas part nr, the LRS707 is from a CVH engine. BTW what happend to the M25 ? yesterday no traffic jam at all from the tunnel to Shoreham and back, did everyone stayed at work for the tube strike ?

Molecular--Bob Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Ok, not seen the Dunnell sump. It is a modified ford part though, so is probably very similar to the Scholar one that i have. Might be worth a call to Dunnell to check that a induction side fit is possible. If it fits i "think" the mounting holes are symetrical, so you can fit it and the solenoid will end up in the same position relative to the block, but the electrical connections will be on the top rather than the bottom.

elie boone Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Ian, problem is that the LRS707 will have the solenoid will be at the bottom of the startermotor witch i don't want. i will have a look at a geared starter motor with a 2 bolt connection but first i will and try a cheaper solution.

Molecular--Bob Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I have the geared powerlite starter which is their 707 equivalent fit and it puts the solenoid at the bottom as well. Not sure if all brands of geared starter would be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 as fas as i know, Dunnel or Raceline is allways the same starter. My first 2,0l Zetec(silvertop) was with James Whiting/Dunnel kit, now my second (silvertop) is with Raceline Kit, allways the old x-flow starter. I bought the starter from redline caterham.

Molecular--Bob Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The situation is complicated by which flywheel you intend to use the 707 starter is for zetec based flywheels. I use a formula ford spec lightened zetec flywheel from Minister, and therefore needed the 707 style starter. The original raceline lightened flywheel was designed to work with the original crossflow starter. This also has consequences for which clutch and CRB you require. I reused all of my 2.0 zetec clutch and a Ford Transit release bearing (cct303), which seems to be working well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooh_R Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The Lucas catalogue is very useful and proved useful when I had similar issues trying to find the right starter for mine - ended up with a LRS00760. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elie boone Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 if anyone wants to use a startermotor on the RHS of the engine you have to use the LRS00758 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
