The latest starter motor from Lotus Marques offers a 1.4KW motor, reduction geared pinion drive with an alloy billet gearbox and vernier adapter for extra strength.
This high quality starter motor has only been made possible by using CAD software, Master CAM software and alloy billets being machined on an OKUMA CNC machining centre.
This design approach results in light weight components that are both robust and highly reliable whilst in service.
Less expensive starter motors are compromised by the use sub-standard design techniques and inferior quality materials.

Cheaper components are not going to offer value for money or the reliability you would expect from an important replacement part like this.

What our customers are saying
The new starter arrived!  All I can say is...*WOW! *
It's just beautiful!
I showed it to my wife (a nascent gear head) and she remarked that we should display it on the fireplace mantle--it's just that well-crafted.
The billet aluminum plate appears polished to a high sheen, and the "Lotus Marques" plate attached to its body gives it that "personal touch" that looks like an actual *person*, and not a machine, attached it (although a person [you?] operating a machine may have). I'm not sure where you source the internals, but I can say the casing you made and the mounting plate are just, from a "car guy" perspective, fantastic--clean, smooth, and with no flash or rough edges to snag on shirt sleeves while trying to install it.

I haven't bench tested it to make sure it works properly (the box looked like  the cargo company "tested" the package by running a forklift over it), but for now--just wonderful, excellent craftsmanship.
