hi guys hope one of you might be able to help me i am building my own electric reverse kit i know most people use a bosch vw starter as did mk but i've heard they use a different starter now thats smaller does anyone know what type the new starter is?

When I spoke to MK last April at Stoneleigh they reckoned they didn't know about the VW motor & so they used a Ford one that they get rewired to go in the correct rotation. Can't understand what's going on there, maybe they just want to flog you a £200 starter motor, anyway I've gone the DIY route with a VW motor & it works ok.

Just found this post which may contain some useful information.
