     There are three Mazda starters that know of.

Not really question related but on the RX7club website the guys with the
20b engines that had some issues with turning the engine over due to
various combinations like high compression rotors in a N/A form etc.
found that the rx-8 starter was a perfect fit. Apparently it has much
more cranking torque than the rx-7 starters and I imagine with that a
greater current draw. Just food for thought.

Also Don. It is possible to move the starter to almost any clock position
if you are using a Tracy style adapter plate.

Don is using the stock bell housing for his own PSRU design and build.
The 45 degree solenoid version won't fit. Perhaps Don can cut a clearance
hole in the bell housing. Anybody else got any ideas?
