Beelzebub Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 Brise starter now fitted. Bit of grinding required to get it to fit. However starter no sounds like it would have no difficulty starting a jumbo jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 HMMMMMHHMMMHMMM Anyway - can someone confirm the Magneton price - £85 seems too cheap... It's just that Tiddy is after one of my/V7s now-redundant starters and neither of us want to ask too much for them. Project Scope-Creep is live...

Myles Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Scotch-that. They're on CC's online store @ £111 inc VAT with another £30ish for the ali mount. Project Scope-Creep is live... Alcester Racing 7's Equipe - 🙆🏻™ Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Bees Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I bought mine direct from the distributors in Norfolk for £85.18 incl. vat & delivery. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beelzebub Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 Yep. Magneton gave me a price circa the one posted by Mike 😬 To the door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiddy1 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Myles thats why I thought £50 was a very fair price, but I may just go for a new one.. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 If it's £85 direct from Magneton - that's pretty-much a no-brainer - although you will probably eventually get the k-click even with a new item if you have heat-problems (Brise say that parts of the solenoid distort as they warm up).

Mick Day Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 It's worth while taking the starter actuating wire & placing it directly on the battery. If the starter works then you don't have a problem with the starter. Even if you've fitted the " relay mod" it's worth doing this as your by now year old relay may have started to fail (just as the relay did in the MFRU originally). So treat the relay as a consumable & replace when necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Davesport et al - anyone received their Brise yet this week??? I know they were waiting for the CNC'd adapters. Project Scope-Creep is live...

Beelzebub Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 Myles. I recieved my starter a couple of days after ordering it from Brise. It's fitted to the car & is a huge improvement in terms of cranking power on the old (Magnetti Marelli) unit. I had to grind a small amount from the block to get the unit to fit. No biggy as it was from a redundand piece of the casting. I had to replace the thick cable to the starter as the existing one was short by about 9 inches, ( a proper nine inches )as the terminals on the Brise are at the front & underneath. I also had to use some new bolts, which from memory were M10 by 32s. The CNC'd adaptor is substantial. I've drilled & tapped this to take a heatshield which I'm hoping along with the lagging on the primaries will help prevent heat related failure of the new unit. I'd send you a picture but to be honest there is'nt a lot to see apart from the heatshield. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Woo Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Any of the stuff here: http://www.thermotec.com/products/full/full.html useful? Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beelzebub Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 Tim. Very usefull, as I'm going to insulate my oil tank shortly. However I was wary of using a "wrap" on the starter as I only wanted to stop radiated heat from getting in & did'nt want to stop heat from getting out. Hence I've left an air gap between the starter & heatshield D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hmmph. Wonder where mine is - maybe you got the last of the old-stock? Project Scope-Creep is live... Alcester Racing 7's Equipe - 🙆🏻™ Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Woo Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I have been trying to find some material I saw on Tomorrows world a few years ago. It was heat resistant and designed for firefighting, even with a blow torch on it the other side was cool to a bare hand. Seems like ideal heatshield material but I can't remember what it was called.

Myles Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Fggingsngingsngsrsshnnsshsh Still, I've just swapped my FIA switch for the one Trevor sold me - there was a hint that my old one might be a bit dodgy and wasn't helping starting - so now I'll be able to test it over the w/e in isolation.
