I think the original poster needs to re check the Registration requirements in Italy...ideally with other Italian members..who have registeted historic vehicles....here in the UK there are various different ways to register vehicles with the DVLA...choose the wrong path and you could end up needing ...

Hi Tim...simple checks here https://www.onallcylinders.com/2021/12/ ... %20to%20go.

Just for more info a post just on JagLovers re stripping down a solonoid https://forums.jag-lovers.com/t/solenoid-rebuild/440767

Your photos show 2 different plugs...doubt you can find an adaptor that fits both...but who knows..I would rewire a socket by the dash to fit your ctek plug....Steve

Well timed. ....iv recently asked the organisers the same question....waiting on a reply....Steve

You can get an su adaptor....just look on ebay etc

You cannot standardise these measurements...it will depend on the application....there are various different clutch covers that have different dimensions from the flywheel face to the thrust bearing pad face....its really up to the installer to check that everything works correctly...dont just purch...

Hi Tom.. Thanks for posting I didn't realise that the solonoid operated initially through the brushes...I though that as the solonoid operated interal contacts then activated the motor via the brushes....hence the old school bang the starter if you can hear the solonoid operate but the starter dosnt...

How does the motor brushes affect the solonoid operating?.... Steve
