Lotus Cortina starter

Post by 1970 cortina GT »

I am progressing with the twin cam install into my MK2 Cortina GT. The twin cam I have has a flywheel on it with 110 teeth and the two starters I have are 11 teeth. My GT motor appears to have 132 teeth, which is where the starters I have came from. From what I have read these are not compatible and I need a 9 tooth starter, or some say a 10 tooth starter. Anyone have the correct spec and also have the correct starter I could purchase from them ? Thanks.

11 tooth starter mates with 132 tooth flywheel. 9 tooth mates to a 110 flywheel. 10 tooth starter doesn't quite mate with the 110 but it can work.
I have a rebuilt heavy duty 9 tooth with mounted solenoid available. Pete
