Well find a bit of metal plate and bend it into a V. It only needs to jam the starter ring teeth against the housing.

Thanks for the reply. looks good. I managed with a small spanner wedged in, but I would certainly look to make one like that, just for the sake of owning one!

Someone start making a load, I'd like one too!

[Dan]

Are you suggesting someone make a load and just give one to you? Because if you want to buy one they already exist and aren't too expensive.

[bcjames]

Well they'd be welcome to give me one! But no. From my quick google I couldn't find any avaliable for what seemed a realistic price aside some past ones on eBay. do you happen to know from where they are avaliable?

Thanks

Sykes-Pickavant used to make one that bolted to the starter motor mounts, similar to the design above. Worked well for me.

Awesome, thanks!

[icklemini]

other ways of holding the flywheel include...
chain between one of the pressure plate bolts and the outer case...
spanner between one of the pressure plate bolts and a bolt on the outercase face (kinda less secure!)
