An update on this!

The correct starter motor required is a D6RA13. This should have the correct mounting part for the SJ413/Samurai gearbox. I currently have a D6RA13 on mine and it has not been split so I now know 100% that it is correct.

The problem comes with ordering a brand new one. The new ones are a different design that are basically the same as the 413/Samurai "Fat Starter". So it wont fit a 1600 engine conversion.

Best bet is to find an old D6RA13. I haven't found what car they originally were fitted to, apart from some spanish Samurais and 413s.

Yeah one of the other D6RAs sticks out more than the 13 model.
I dont know if the longer one will fit to be honest
I'm going to try and find out where I can get a supply of the things from!

This is the new version that is unsuitable but has the same part number! Annoying!
