This is the item, http://www.minispares.com/product/Classic/...ack%20to%20shop

I didn't know they did them, I guess they are lighter and a whole lot better?!

Anyone?

And also, why do people seem to keep changing from inertia to pre-engaged? Better operation in theory, but in reality does it matter or make any difference?!

i think one of the reasons may be the price tag thats attached to the above starter motor

Done now needs redoing lol

They are usually cheaper aren't they? Also the one I linked to above is cheaper than the pre-engaged one...

Mines a NAsp rally motor so will be fairly high comp, less current is always good though, smaller battery & cables etc.

Is that not a case of trying to use a pre-engaged starter on an inertia type ring-gear? Or the other way round..

But hi-torque aside I'm also still unsure as to why people change from inertia to pre-engaged, apart from they are slightly smaller and neater in standard form...

I think that they just work much better. They seem to engage with the ring gear much more reliably and do less damage to it.
