Thanks davegriffin, that clears the issue up ...... :like:

Doug, you got an auto starter, but as the above PDF explains, you also now have a 157t flywheel.

Yes, Doug, 20mm off the drive shaft & would have been done in a weekend (actually one day if you were trying) easily.

Unfortunately bowls, bingo, coffee/tea & talking of the "old days" got in the way ........ :bingo:

Excellent info Dave, explains it all well and I'm sure it will benefit a few.

Looks like MrsOzbilt now has a spare starter motor for the Mach ;)

It will hit the same as yours did.

So if anyone needs a starter that has a rack & pinion ....... :poke:

...And needs a C4 with all necessary hardware. I reckon Oz would throw in the starter if it means getting the C4 off his workshop floor!

If you have the 157t flywheel, then yes it will fit.

I could have sworn that you said Carol already runs one of these starters.

One of us is losing it :loopy:

Took the car for a run this morning. Smokes em in 1st & 2nd, just a twerp in 3rd. Probably a tired 289 ....... :poke:

Shifts nicely & the cable clutch is really nice. Almost like driving my avatar again (it has an MD setup as well ...... :lol: )

Should I order some rear tyres for you Doug? Yours seem to be down in tread now ....... ;)

Yes thanks Kerry. Make it 4 tyres. Some nice sticky 225/50x16's. Should go well on a set of Torque Thrust II's.

Moe I see you're offloading some of your Simmons on the other sight. What happened? Is the love affair over? :poke:
