Posted November 13, 20168 yr Can somebody quickly tell my what I need to shave off the na box to fit a TT flywheel, and how thick the offset of the starter motor. Ie how many washers etc. Am fitting it today so will need to know asap
November 13, 20168 yr Author Also the pilot bushing looks too big, I guess I am supposed to remove that rusty ring thing which acts as a retainer and then the bushing sits behind it? Noob question but don't want to smash a bushing and ive never done this before :( Edited November 13, 20168 yr by Alic
November 13, 20168 yr Author Sorted, and for future if anyone is wondering, the place where the starter bolts onto the bell housing, the inside needs grinding out approx 2mm, and starter spaced away 3mm. That rusty bit is the auto pilot bearing, and you use a coal chisel (or similar) to hit it each side until it comes out, and the pilot bushing is installed behind it. Thanks to Jimmer :)
November 13, 20168 yr Author So... back in now. That ring is a basterd and really tight. Knocking it on either side isn't going to budge anything (at least in my case). I had to use a pipe wrench and spin it while spraying wd-40 into it, and eventually it spins enough to come out.

Thanks to Jimmer :) There is a 12mm diameter difference between the TT and NA flywheel, so you should use a 6mm spacer. Although as the starter action is spring loaded Im not suprised 3mm is working ok.
