[Wanted: Parts] Starter Motor for a 77 bus !

[JohnnyMickey]

Wonder if anyone here can help me. I'm after a starter motor for a 77 bus. Prefably looking for a 2 liter starter motor that would fit my 1600 gearbox, CU Code. I was looking at the high torq starters, but mega expensive due to shipping! The reason for the high tork starter, is because i have a really big engine!!!
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I got a high torque start in the past from Martin Murray, it's going back a few years but I don't remember it being too crazy in price?

Bell housing on an 002 trans is shorter than a 091 and the 2.0 starter will sit too deep I believe in your 1600 box. Rabbit or Golf Diesel starters are very torquey too to turn over that big engine.

My stock Bug starter started my 13.5 to 1 comp ratio 2332cc race engine just fine until it was heat soaked then you only had 1 try.

Didn't Trev do some research into what starters fit.............? Although that was for a 091 trans if memory serves.........?

Thanks for all the replies! I did try a golf starter motor, but i had clearence issues with the solinoid! I Might try the oridginal starter, but would really like a high tork one. I might try Martin!

The motors themselves are much the same ( build quality aside ) , the type 4 engined buses had a longer nose on the later ones to clear the bigger flywheel/ clutch arrangement .
There are various high torque starter motors on the market....I'd imagine a good standard Starter would turn over most engines

You could try giving Michael Higgins (the Galway one ) a shout:

his bell housing is the longer 091 type even though he has a cu code box so he needs the longer nosed starter motor .

I hope that he has also changed his lower engine mount studs, and he needs the longer starter bolt too.

yes the engine has the longer studs fitted and i have a longer starter bolt for him .
its not uncommon to find 1600 cu code boxes with the 091 bell housing in irish built late bays .
