I have a new upgrade starter from the Roadster factory. does anyone know if I use the spacer between the starter and the engine that was used on the original starter or not.

Thank you

Thanks for the response, but I have called them most of the day and no one from tech is available

finally talked to Dave the Tech guy at RF. He did not know if it needed the spacer or not. So again I ask, so I do not have to install, try it and have a 50 50 chance of needing it or not, Has anyone installed the upgraded, starter and did you use the spacer or not satisfactorily

Thanks

Bruce

I used the spacer. It's not not very thick so wouldn't make much difference. A friend had used a Honda starter on his Spitfire (straight bolt on) and it was out 1/4" (can't remember if it was too far or not far enough). Seemed to work well enough.

Left mine out when I fitted the new high torque starter. No problems.

Thanks. I appreciate the fact that it does not seem to make a difference. I believe I will go ahead and install it as then I will have it if I need to replace sometime in the future

Obviously doesn`t make a difference as I used mine.

I fitted mine without the spacer a couple of years ago, no obvious problems with it since, works well
