G'day Ozzie, I'm over in the West, great to see more Aussies on this forum. Starter motors - you do need double jointed limbs and sticky rubber fingers. I recently pulled an engine out of a 124 Coupe, and when I removed the starter I found two 13mm sockets in the space between the starter and block - plus an imperial one!

was thinking there should be a wise crack something to the effect of "look what the cat is dragging in" but, i think cats are afraid of spiders and 'roos, right?

anyway, welcome to the site.
