[QUOTE="graysummers, post: 162140, member: 13185"] The starter is all in and turned over first time. The red wiring connectors and black battery connectors were in a terrible state and all had to be chopped and replaced. The original bushing I checked with a piece of metal dowel the same size as the starter motor shaft (my Dad's idea) and it was snug as a bug. Surprisingly little wear. Maybe I've done the wrong thing in not replacing it with a new one, but to score and tap out the original would mean me travelling to my Dad's (140 miles away) and using all his stuff and the facilities that I don't have here in Wales. That D-Bolt was a nightmare and it's the luck of the draw whether you've got an impossible nut or a peach lying behind the housing or not. I've re-named it the F-Bolt. Mind you, putting it back in with that Just Kampers mechanic's idea of a bit of insulation tape to give it purchase and stop it slipping was a good idea. Next up ? Saw that the Heat Exchangers had no cables attached and someone had badly wired them open (Now snapped and useless). I'll be asking for advice again no doubt. Thanks all for your feedback and advise. Priceless. [/QUOTE]
