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 All I want is a challenger that I cant break

What starter do you have?

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....

The stock massive one for a 318

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

I have these in stock

Cheers Turnip. I will phone you first thing tomorrow and get that ordered, cheers Dave

I HAVE NEVER COME ACCROSS NOT BEING ABLE TO USE A REGULAR OLD STYLE STARTER WITH ANY OFF THE FLEXPLATES ??????

Yes, just my luck Dunc. When we looked at 11.5 inch flex plates on the net for sb they stated can only be used with mini starter

i think this should be made a stickie,

No worries Dunc, we learn as we go along, and Ive always fancied a mini starter anyway

Cheers Turnip, got the starter on yesterday, great service and great price, thanks Dave
