[QUOTE="starbiscuit, post: 570583, member: 18416"] Starter is from 1987 if the Bosch stickers on it are to be believed. It cranks fine cold, and was very sluggish when properly hot. Not dead, just dead slow. While it was all apart I wire-brushed the mounting bolts and flanges until they were shiny, because that's the current path to earth, and it does spin faster now. I haven't got it properly hot yet, so I don't know if I will need a new one like you suggest. At least the new ones are self-supporting, so a sloppy bush in the bellhousing isn't an issue. Slightly annoyed at GSF "sale" games: now they have jacked their prices you can only shop there on 42%-off days. [/QUOTE]
