mini starter

Post by moparnutterz »

Hi all, I have just fitted today an 11.5 inch flex plate to the challenger, when I put the starter in I realized it wouldn't work because the hub behind the gear hits the flex plate, has anybody got a mini starter that will do the job. Ive now got the nightmare of moving my dodge challenge as a none runner tomorrow as its sat on an MOT ramp :shock: :help: All I want is a challenger that I cant break :thumbright:

I may be wrong but I thought the nose of a mini starter was the same as a full size one....there may be another issue here....

No Pete, its not the nose, its the drum behind the gear that hits the flex plate. We need a starter with just the gear. FBO do one, just wondering if anybody has one without me having to order a new one as car is now dead
