Hi!,
recently bought a type 9 > Zetec starter but have found that the depth to the flywheel is less than that to the end of the starter sproket.. Anyone got any ideas? I have a dunnell lightened flywheel fitted to an ST170 engine.

thanks

What starter have you got ?

the one you want ( I think) is from a sierra/granada 2LDohc or the 1.8l cvh sierra. The first will be longer and thiner in the body which may be easier to get next to the sump.

I have to say I know little of the ST170 but the bottom end should be the same as a Zetec.

Just measured my 2LDohc starter and this is how it compares .

I am not sure what model it is from..I bought it from Andy O as a zetec / type 9.

Thanks for measuring it certianly looks like yours will fit! Can you give me the part # off the one you have if it has one...

Thanks for the help once again the site comes to the rescue!#

But I doubt that means much

I'm using type 9/Zetec and using the 1.8 CVH starter.

From an old thread I started....


[Pase3 Zetec / MT75 Starter - Sorted

Sorted at last, A QS1221 starter from QX Components, www.qxcomponents.co.uk still lots to grind off I've about 1mm clearance, but its clearance.
I got change out of £55 including next day delivery, a really helpful company well worth a try
A few pics in my archive, a bit big, but this does work, it isn't theory.

thanks
