Rich. How far is the flywheel from the box mating face on the blacktop?

Swapped the starter motor today for a LRS707. I'm putting up a pic so people can see the difference. This one looks like the one for 2.0L Mondeo silvertop with 1.8L Escort flywheel.

Hi Gaz

That 707 stater in your latest pictrure has the same measurement as the CVH starter currently removed from my 1.8 Zetec set up.

I still have a Sierra 2 litre DOHC starter here. this also has the same measurement.

It's a minefield Ronnie. I,m guessing the LRS543 is a pinto starter because it would have done if I'd made a 15mm spacer.

Minimal grinding of the sump and the 707 fits perfectly. Wired it to an old battery, took out the plugs (it's got no oil in it) and it spins up luverly.

I've put a small filter on and will fill it with oil tomorrow. I was starting to loose a bit of interest in the car so have set myself the goal of making everything needed to get the engine running.
