    Cologne 2.8 V6 Alu sump starter motor

    Hello,

    Once again a small issue that could use your help.

    I hava a 2.8 Cologne V6 in my Taunus (mk3 cortina).

    It is fitted with aluminium sump from 2.9 cosworth engine (2wd) and fitted to T5 gearbox.

    Now I am finishing my car and starter motor doesen'fit due to the lump on the sump.

    This is the starter motor

    Does anyone know if a different starter motor exists or should I take off the sump and cut and weld it which I really don't want to do as it is sealed and mounted.

    I can't remember what starter we used on the 24v Capri but it was a standard starter. We had acess to 2.8 XR4x4, Scorpio 12v 2.9 auto and Capri 2.8 4-speed so I assume we used one of them.

    There are aftermarket standard replacement starters with thinner bodies too.
