Hi
Which starter motor do i need with a 2.9 V6 24v cossie lump with a 3 bolt type 9 bellhousing please?
The Granada cossie with auto box had a 2 bolt starter on.
I have bought an xr4i starter with 3 bolt holes, but they are not in the right place by a fair bit. Is there a difference between 2.0 xr4i starter and 2.8 please?
Cheers
Kevin

 

u need a 2.8 or 2.9 starter from an xr4i or xr4x4!
2.0 xr4i ar 4pot engines yours is 6pot same as the above, even a 2.8/2.9 Granada/capri starter will work as long as its 3 hole

 

Brilliant thank you.
Does it matter what year?
Cheers
Kevin

 

Hi Kev what flywheel are you using ?

 

Nope, quick question do you already have a fucked starter? if so you can just strip it down and use the motor from the other one its piss easy that's what I do on my saph BOA/Mt75

 

Hi Gerry, Nice to hear from you
It is the 2.9 flywheel i think, but only difference between that and the 2.8 is the thickness isn't it?
Hi Wes
Yes we have a knackered one that fits fine, a company has looked over it to re con it, but there arent any good bits on it eg solenoid knackered, windings shot, bearings rusted :-(
What starter would you use out of curiousity though if we could cut and shut a healthy motor onto my existing 'nose' piece?
Cheers
Kevin

 

I have a Boa with 2.8 flywheel and mt75 gearbox my box is the later box 3 hole starter and finding a starter was a pain cos i got 2.8flywheel i needed starter with less teeth think theyre 7 and 9 all 7 teeth starters were 2bolt so i just took it apart and put it in the 3bolt starter shell all good ive done a few!

 

Cheers. Hopefully i wont have to fit a crank handle to the front pulley to start it then

Rofl 👍

 

Don't 2.8 & 2.9 have same diameter flywheel and number of teeth, just the 2.8 is thinner and lighter?
Cheers
Kevin

 

Dnt think so yh theyre thinner but teeth re diff it dnt matter to much!

 

Hi Wes
Thank you for the help, we have used the healthy motor & solenoid from the autobox (2 bolt starter) and the flange from the 3 bolt motor - hey presto as you suggested we have a working cut/shut starter
Cheers for the advice, it has cost nothing to get a working unit.
Cheers
Kevin

 

Cool bud and hey look complicated after many fuxk arounds by people trying to get a starter for mine 1 day just took 2 apart to see if i could make 1 couldnt believe how easy it was since then always do my own even alternators can be done a little bit of pain in the arse though
