Over the last few days I have been working on removing the starter from our 1968 Safari. The starter died recently.
I need a starter that fits this and am told that the later starters which can be bought new won’t fit in these earlier cars so I’m wondering if someone out there has one of this type - - even if the condition is questionable.
Also, I have undone the 3 long bolts on the right and the one on the rear left where it bolts onto the motor (unlike the late type that doesn’t have this mounting). I have started to “jimmie” the starter but so far it won’t budge. I’m wondering if there is another mounting bolt that I’ve missed.
Once I hopefully get this done I will have to do the same job on our 1968 ID19B shown in the background of the pic. Our Sunbeam Alpine has been needed while these 2 cars are immobile.
Thanks, John
