Thanks Erik. Swapping the starter over is not possible on a wet sump engine, the sump has the bulge where the starter used to sit on a rhd car, also the clutch cable is in that place.

You could fit a small high torque starter but i think you would have issues with heat, would certainly require alot of heat sheilding at the least.
