Ever heard a Mini with a new Lucas starter and a new ring gear? 8)
It is not about refinement, it is about using parts that are not 40 years old.

Yes I have a factory rebuilt Lucas starter and new ring gear, it sounds fine, spins the 1360 up, no problem. :D
When the Lucas eventually dies, I'll buy something of newer design. :wink:

I have gone through 3 lucas starters in 3 years. One was brand new. One was reconditioned. Other was probably 35yrs old.

The after market pre-engaged starters start well and sound like my corolla when starting up.

My engine on the other hand is approximately 7 times louder :)
