Attachments :While my car is a TD and has a different starter than TA/C when I fitted a supercharger the choke linkage got close to some of the TD electrics . I went the route of fitting an electric solenoid, all well and good BUT I wanted to keep the T type pull cable, so I made up a bracket and mounted a british motorcycle brake light switch which was similar in action to a TC brake light switch , so I made a mounting bracket fitted a switch and an anchor for the cable and then did the wiring to make the electric solenoid work and I kept my original pull cable. If you do not want to do all that a TR3 starter push switch mounts in the T dash panel

Subject: Re: [mg-tabc] TA vs TC starter
Mark, May I suggest another alternative switch to solenoid starting? My engine has a TC-style starter too. I did not like the clearance at the exhaust and the need to brace the small centre dash panel while pulling the mechanical starter. So during the restoration I modified the starter mechanism by removing the switch and replacing with the plate from another (shell only) switch bought on Ebay. That only needed a solid grommet to seal it. Then remove all the loose copper bits in the end of the starter and make a thin copper strip (in my case, one layer only of 15mm domestic copper pipe) to bridge the two terminals. That gains some two inches between the starter end and the exhaust pipe (photo attached). I sourced a solenoid and small push switch from AES in the UK. The solenoid I fixed to the bulkhead using existing holes, and redirected the starter cable to it. I bought a ready made up joining cable from the same company to link the solenoid to the starter terminal. The switch can be made to fit the existing dash hole by filing one or two flats on the thread (I forget which). Then run a supply to it, and a wire to the solenoid. Plus an earth wire from the solenoid to the body (the petrol pump earth should be nearby. I much prefer this arrangement which is not obvious to observers. Usual caveats apply. Ask me for part numbers if you wish to look into this option further. Simple, innit? Regards to all, Ian Linton TA3120 Lewes, East Sussex, UK [b]From:[/b] mg-tabc-noreply@yahoogroups.com">mailto:

[quote] Might anyone know if the TA and TC starter are interchangeable? I never realized I had TC starter on my TA; it is the way it was when I bought it. As you can see from the photo the down pipe has been crimped to get around the starter. I understand the TA starter has 10 teeth and the TC 11 teeth. I ve no idea what the ring gear is but I would assume original TA given the block and gearbox are original to the car. My options seem to be to 1) leave it as is or 2) cut out the crippled section and replace it with a new section forward of the starter or 3) buy a TA starter and new down pipe. I am fine with #3 but want to make sure the TA starter would work.
