I am in need of a side mounted starter, anybody out there have a cosmo
bell housing and starter or similar? Does the Automatic version of the
RX7 have a side mounted starter?

Anybody with parts they are willing to part with let me know and we can
work out a price.

Will the Cosmo parts work on the Renesis?

Lots of questions, no answers,

I don't think so Monty. My manual RX8 starter looks like a 2nd gen sort
of.
Last picture.

However the auto tx version of the RX8 eng looks like the third gen
and the Cosmo starter. 1st and 2nd pictures.

The FD (93+ rx7) auto tranny cars (they sold more of them than manuals!)
use the side mounted starters like all the 20B's had and all the cosmo's
had because they were all auto tranny stock from the factory. Here's is
a pic of a 20B setup. What I need is a cs psru to bolt to this
bellhousing......

Is there a bolt hole on the side of the rear housing for that starter? If
so, do the regular manual cars and older motors have that hole, or at least
a pad that can be drilled and tapped?

Monty

As far as I know the Cosmo starter is bolted only to the
bell housing with four bolts.

BTW the third gen manual tx starter is of this type.
