gerg 10,871 Posted March 6, 2014 I've fitted a cross-flow starter to mine, there's a write up here on how I did it: http://www.xfalcon.com/forums/index.php?/topic/38734-6-cyl-crossy-starter-to-clevo-any-issues/?fromsearch=1<br /><br />You'll either need to drill both bolt holes out to 3/8" and use a through-bolt and nut on the top one, or drill just the bottom one and tap out the top one to 3/8" UNC to take the standard Clevo arrangement.

We had quite a few failures from BA ones, but they got worked hard. They mostly let go in the solenoid.Sent from my CPH1607 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just dead in the water. All others seem fairly strong though except for lpg powered ba onwards that are cranked too long on start up. 1 gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We stopped buying at FG. Same thing, turn the key, nobody home. I remember collecting the old starters for "Spares" lol, but all of them had the same problem: solenoid went open circuit. Shit job changing them too. That top bolt is a bitch. I got a long extension through from the front of the engine.

Valvebouncer 2,389 Posted February 17, 2018 The AWD Territory’s are hell on earth to change a starter. The front diff sits right underneath the starter motor 1 gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
