12 year old gear reduction starter motor from TRF seems good as new. =C2=A0=

Thanks Sloane.=C2=A0=C2=A0 I have the stock braided negative cable with att=
aching points at firewall and block.=C2=A0=C2=A0 Seems to be an uncommon ty=
pe of cable, but Triumph must have did it this way as it is needed for adeq=
uate grounding.=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 I suppose if you used a common=C2=A0shiel=
ded auto parts store cable you could run a short grounding strap from firew=
all=C2=A0=C2=A0to block,=20
