new pinion gear for hi torque starter

Hi Guys,
Just managed to chip a tooth on my new hi torque pre-engaged starter.
(don't ask!)

Anyone know where I can get a new pinion and/or someone to fit it!
cheers

Tim,

Contact Luke at http://lukemotorsport.co.uk/lukemotorsportua.html

He sells starter spares - even the correct 9 tooth pinion varieties for the Twinc. I guess you will need to verfiy that the the base starter you have is the same or compatible as the ones he sells.

Ok Ok...
Was playing around with the cranking ignition advance on the megasquirt setup I have on the lotus..
ending up inducing a backfire mid-crank (while parked up in a multistorey car park). the backfire chipped a tooth clean off..
had to get a push start to get back home (hoping I didn't stall on the way!)
