Do all B Series engines have a starter held on with two bolts? if anyone has a scan or two showing the engine as fitted to, say, an A50 Cambridge or something of that era, showing the starter side of the block, I'd be interested to see it please

ta, Rick

I have workshop manuals on some A and B series vehicles I'll dig them out and take a scan if no one answers in the meantime.

Both the petrol B series engines that I have a had, which is the MGA 1489 and the MGB 1798 have the starter held in with 2 bolts.

Thanks ukd/O-N - after I posted this I had a think, I may have an A55/A60 manual buried in the garage somewhere, so I'll see if I can find that

cheers, R
