L Series Starters

[CarolsHusband]

Hello brainy bods.

I think the starter on the Hako may be toast. I'm putting it in for a rebuild but it maybe beyond saving.

Are all 6 cylinder L series starters the same ? Or even fours ? I can get 240/260/280Z starters but dunno if they're compatible.

Help me Obiwans, you're one of my hopes.

Yep, it's toast. Totally fubar. The bits that aren't rusty are all wore out. 

Anybody fancy messaging KY for me & asking ?

I would bet a Z starter would be a straight swap. I bought all kinds of Z stuff for my old 260C and never had an issue.

Thanks. Because we were mostly an L series desert here, not many suppliers list the full compatibilities.

Found one that says all Z cars & 510's, 1970- 1983,

Good enough for me.

I have plenty of 4cyl starters here, can take pictures/part #s if that helps?

Thanks Nick, sadly my starter is is a numberless repro of dubious national parentage. 

I'm pretty sure the bloke at the rebuild place would smile ironically and chuck it in the bin.
