Just what I wondered, and happily have managed to patiently rebuild another old 11-toothed stater motor among my spares - and it works!
(ps - aye, the sight and sound of the pipes and drums at our annual Lonach Games in Aberdeenshire is a magical experience.)

10 or 11 tooth?
Does a Lucas Bendix 10-tooth starter motor fit a petrol Lightweight, or does it have to be 11-tooth version?

Re: underbonnet starter
Thanks for that, Dormy. Think I'll give it a try - and make sure I always have the old lightweight out of gear first!

Acquired a push button starter solenoid BCA4501 in spare parts buy.

Re: Correct seating - 1968
Still running the old 2A but can't find the pics I took back then. Hate to admit it, but since replaced the thin basic seats with the comfortable seats from my former Austin Champ! Heresy, I know.

no headlights
My headlights have stopped working altogether - no high, low beam or flash - although sidelights, indicators, horn etc are all ok.
Anyone tackled similar problem?

I sent off registration from the military vin plates and received the history of my ex-Army 2A from the Royal Logistics Corps depot, and later RAF Lightweight from the RAF Museum Hendon. Contact details are online.
