I am in the final stages of my 302 rebuild for my GTD40. I have fitted a Canton 15-644 sump but when I came to mount the starter, the solenoid fouls the flare of the sump (the main body of the starter would fit with some gentle 're-profiling' of the sump).
I started to look at a more compact starter, particularly one with a solenoid that can be mounted at a different position relative to the starter mounting holes but them hit the problem of identifying the current starter!
The only text on the starter is "2005823 943 Germany 0 001 311 047 12V 73 6B 11000AA" the length from bolt faces is 195mm, diameter approx 100mm.
Any ideas what it is so that I stand a fighting chance of buying something that will work!
Plan B is to modify the position of the mounting holes on the transition plate
Plan C is to modify the mounting lugs on the starter
and
Plan D is to take the sump off again and modify that.....
Well its nice to have options isn't it - of course it would be even nicer to have a starter that fits (and works!)
All the best
