Starting System

Anchor tab for the battery cover securing strap. Bolts to the boot floor in a classic Mini Saloon (sedan) to the same captive nut that secures the ground strap

127'' length cable that runs from the battery to the solenoid. Suitable for negative or positive ground cars. Ref: YTA10037.

Heavy duty braided steel battery ground strap, 12'' long. Ref: 5L888, 5L888MS.

FIA-approved battery cut-off switch; includes two universal keys and instructions. Ref: MW002.

Rubber boot that insulates the heavy leads to the starter solenoid. Ref: CTB920, 858266, 8G548, 8G0548.

Set of four (4) brushes found in the early 35G-1 inertia starter.

Later inertia starters, model 35J, used these brushes. Ref: TAB117, GSB105, 60600056.

Replacement front bushing for the M35G-1 starter, as originally used by classic Minis. Ref: TCB124, 253316.

Replacement rear bushing for the M35G-1 starter, as originally used by classic Minis. Ref: TCB125, 251477.

24'' cable with correct end fittings to connect from the engine-bay starter solenoid to the starter on classic Minis with inertia starter. Ref: 5L925.

Extra-length braided strap looks original but allows more flexibility with mounting locations. Ref: 5L1137, CMB115, 2K8617.

Steering-column mount ignition switch, with column-locking mechanism, including keys. Ref: BHM7107, SSB308.

A nice reproduction four-sided solenoid mounting bracket for the classic Mini.

A nice reproduction three-sided mounting bracket. An alternative mounting configuration for the solenoid; see also SEL0012 four-sided bracket.

Spacer developed for when a pre-engaged starter will interfere with the flywheel ring gear.

The 10-tooth pinion replaced the original 9-tooth one on inertia drive Lucas starters. Ref: TLB111-10, TLB111, BAU2074.

Lucas starters on most classic Minis in the 60s-70s had this 9-tooth pinion, later updated to 10 teeth. Ref: TLB111-9, TLB111, 67H5010, 37H6010, SDV310.

This 9-tooth starter pinion can be fitted to a pre-engaged starter so that it can be used with an early, 107-tooth ring gear. Ref: SND2061.

This solenoid is a large electrically-operated switch capable of carrying high starter current. Ref: 13H5952, SRB325, 76766, BMK1727, 68000.

Starter solenoid with two large and two small terminals, as used on classic Minis from 1977 to 1985. Ref: SRB335, 13H5952, ADU5728, 77117, 68010.

The solenoid is the most likely component to fail on the improved classic Mini pre-engaged starter introduced in 1984. Ref: NAF10004, SND1443, TPB139, BAU5444.

Solenoid common in the 1960s, and offers the convenience of being able to start or ''bump'' the engine from under the hood. Ref: BCA4501, GP527.

Early classic Minis had a off-on ignition switch, and the start function was via a floor mounted push button switch. Ref: 17H5260, LUSRB312.

Compact, lightweight, permanent magnet starter for pre-Verto flywheel. Replaces the clunky inertia starter. Ref: GXE1004RACE, MS15, FOR109.

Starter with a high-torque gear reduction Japanese motor with solenoid mounted to a machined adapter that fits the classic Mini. Ref: FOR024, C-GEU9404, 16122HD.

All-new inertia starter motor for A-series classic Minis. 9-tooth pinion. Ref: LRS102, GXE4404.

Pre-engaged starter as used on all classic Minis after January 1986; includes an integral solenoid. Ref: GXE4527.

Rubber strap to hold the battery cover in place; as original. Ref: 14A7776.

Specially-converted starter for high-compression engines with pre-engaged starter and 129-tooth ring gear. Ref: C-GXE4527, GXE1005, FOR038.
