Self Supporting Starter

[collins_sh]

Needed a self supporting starter for a 1.9Dg manual, does anyone know where i could get one that would fit my van

[billy739]

why would you want one?

not a standard fit excect for automatics,
never herd of one that will fit.

prob easier to replace bell housing if its damaged

[collins_sh]

surly easier than trying to drill out the bushing hole for a larger brass bushing etc

don't want to take off the gearbox either, call it lazyness

[kevtherev]

has the brass bush disintegrated then?
Is the hole in the bell housing no good for the new bush?

I don't think any motor will do what you want.. As Billy says, far easier to change the bell housing

[collins_sh]

what i'm planning to do tomorrow is to install the oversize bushing i have got. i'm going to drill out the casing hole to accomodate.

i'm surprised that there are no starters available that will support themselves when installled.

would make it a solid repair, no more to worry about after that.

a self supporting starter will still have a bush that will wear just as quick as the bush in the bell housing.

get down the local starter rebuilder and check a few core motors out!
