[QUOTE="roger v, post: 177536, member: 5177"] Hi Sten If as you say he makes his own cases , that is one hell of a lot of effort just to move the starter position from Marks five o clock to the dynamo position . There cannot be too much advantage gained from it , apart from having the ring gear being exposed outside of the case in order to mate with the starter motor low down . This in itself is no bad thing as the c of g is in the right place . From what I can gather Mark uses a starter from a Toyota car , of the type where the gear is not encapsulated under a shroud . There is probably a cost benefit as the breakers yard could provide the parts . You would have , of course , have to make your own ring gear , but this is all doable . I would prefer not to use a double sided belt for the alternator drive and as Chris has said the ring gear might provide this , although looking at Marks design and how he produced the final product , he also must have looked at this and rejected it .
