    You just missed one that went very cheap on ebay last week at $200.
     
    Options are Jaylec or Castlemaine Auto Electric. Both will cost you about $400 +

    Make it go FASTER!

    In my experience you can't beat the Burtons supplied 'EDGE' brand 1.4 kW reduction gear starter motors. Got one earlier in the year and was so impressed I bought a spare to cover my 2 other pinto powered cars. Cost $390  freighted to my door.  You might try Smacka first though. He might have the same, maybe.

    I have one. Best to call me on 0413 389 332 as the website is broke due to a-holes hacking it.

    Cool Drive Distribution in Victoria are the UK agents for a lot of the Pinto Hi Torque Starter Motors.
    The last one I got was $250 delivered and it was a ripper.
     
    Maybe give them a call and get a quote.

    Save yourself some money that can be spent somewhere else on your escort and call Cool Drive Distribution.
     
    Talk to the head and not the tail. Cut out the middle man
     
    If something goes wrong it is an Australian company to return it to.!!

    These guys also do them... And they are Australian made...
    I agree with the Ulsterman... Keep it local... Easier for warranty...

    I'd like to clarify that anything I sell is backed by myself and I will refund or replace anything that is faulty. I am the one that wears the cost not my customers and most times I will also pay for the freight for the replacement as well as the faulty item being sent back.
    Being a middle man does not mean I take the money and run.

    CAE showed a high level of complete disinterest when Gdub and myself were hunting for one of these each a few years ago (before smcka was doing these) so good luck with them...

    Sometimes it pays to pay a little extra for the service and backup if require - you have been advised ( and that relates to not only car parts but most things in my experience as a cheap job is usually just that) !

    Why did you have issues with CAE as I've used them for many years and they are always very quik to respond and have made up a few specials even as we've modified things as we went to make them last and easier to fit which the UK supplied product is still not doing

    It wasnt that side that was the issue Danny, it was the sales professionalism of the place. I ordered 2 startes, one for me and one for Nicholas, they took my order, processed my payment but didnt bother to advise that they didnt have any and wouldnt have for several weeks. I only found that out when i called them to ask where my order was!
     
    They could get stuffed after that

    This guy does the same, You buy then he tells you no stock... A couple of USA Ebay engine part dealers do that also...
