QUESTION
I have recently purchased a 1970 Lotus Elan +2 and the original Lucas starter motor is very tired.
I have been told that I can fit a Honda Civic starter motor as a direct replacement - is this correct?
B.S. - Birregurra, Australia
ANSWER
This is not correct as the Honda Civic motor is not a direct replacement.
However, Lotus Marques manufactures a high torque starter motor that is a direct replacement.
