Hi all.........I'm replacing the starter motor on my t25. I've been told that it is not necessary to fit a gasket. Can anyone enlighten me please? Thanks.

There isn't a gasket

Mine doesn't have a gasket.
Actually, if I think about it, the starter motor needs to be earthed through the engine, so a gasket would insulate it and the van wouldn't start.

Don't forget to fit a new bush while your at it.

Thanks all for your replies. What's the best way to get the bush out and refit the new one?

An M12 tap. make sure it tapers down a bit on the end, or it won't bite. It's fiddly, so be prepared to get frustrated..!!
Failing that, you can leave it in and get a starter motor that doesn't need a bush, but they are the `high torque` variety and are a bit more expensive.

Thanks guys for that help. Appreciate it!

The 12mm tap works brilliantly in getting the bush out
