Re: Starter motors 22nd Series

G'day all,
BDeb is correct and the 1107943 will fit the 22nd Series Export and should improve the engine cranking speed. I have collected dozens of Delco and Auto-lite starters since the mid Sixties and they all have 9 teeth on the starter pinion. The flywheel teeth vary from 140 teeth up to Ultramatic which have 158 teeth, to twin ultramatic which have 182 teeth (but still 9 teeth on the starter drive) The Starters have a wide variation from 9 ft lbs on the pre war junior Sixes to 16 ft lbs on the 1107493 and 25 ft lbs on some of the Commercials. Australia has mostly "export" chassis and the main differences were RHD configuration, shock absorber valving and springing for rougher roads. In many cases the instruments are LHD and it is a bit of a PIA at night finding the speedo on the other side of the dashboard ( when your'e not looking out for those evil Packard seeking kangaroos!). Best Regards Peter Toet.
