What engine and transmision have you got? There are 6 volt, 12 volt (different no. of teeth to 6 volt), 12 volt automatic (self-supporting shaft end, no transmision bush needed) and 6volt (one year only, 1966-7) 1500 ones.

I put an auto starter on mine. Very pleased with it and no plaffing about with the brass bush....

Any 12v one will fit, the auto starter has an extra 1/4 HP as it is larger
