Default RST Starter Motor.......

So, whats the best one to use??

Mine has been getting scabbier and scabbier every time I take it off!! It still works OK, but the Terminal Studs are very loose now and I really think its had its day.

Diesel short bodied starter. Spins quick and is further away from the downpipe than any other starter i can find.

Not sure 100% just have a lookski for a starter that has three long bolts that hold the starter together. Looks very different to the normal type. If i can find a pic ill post it up.
