[Healeys] Starter Question

[Thomas Willig]

..on top, I encounter also that some friends want to get rid of  their
reduction starter and go back  to the good old Lucas unit, because they found
out that their cars sound like Honda/Mazda/Toyota  when starting. In my BN2, I
have a rebuild starter motor, which performs faultlessly. I would never fit
one of these modern replacements..

Kind regards

I think it really boils down to whether or not you are interested in keeping
you car original or not.  If it is correctly (professionally?) rebuilt it
should be very reliable. If originality is not important to you then obviously
the gear reduction starter is probably cheaper & quicker.
