Ford Xflow & Pre-Xflow 9-Tooth Starter Motor – 2-Hole Fixing (SM001)

This replacement Lucas inertia (Bendix) starter motor is suitable for a wide range of classic Ford models fitted with the standard 110-tooth flywheel ring gear. Typical applications include: Ford Anglia 105E Ford Corsair Mk1 Cortina Mk2 Cortina Lotus Cortina Early Mk1 Escort Early Ford Capri (Crossflow) The 9-tooth, 2-hole fixing starter is typically the earlier Lucas design, most commonly found on Anglias, Corsairs, Mk1 Cortinas and early Mk1 Escorts. Important: Due to the age of these vehicles, many have had replacement engines, gearboxes and starter motors fitted over the years. It is therefore quite common to find either a 2-hole or 3-hole fixing starter, and either a 9-tooth or 10-tooth pinion, regardless of what the vehicle originally left the factory with. Please note: 9-tooth and 10-tooth starter motors are interchangeable with each other, as both were originally used with 110-tooth ring gears. Although the pinion tooth count differs, the pinion gear diameter and engagement position are designed so that both starters mesh correctly with the same 110-tooth ring gear, allowing either type to be used as a direct replacement in the correct application.
