Well, I must be dumb
Am I dumb because I read these forums and believed my faulty 4AGE rwd starter motor HAD to be a 4ac one
Or am I dumb because I didn't try a fwd one first, I already had a fwd one, but I paid $65 for a rwd one
I have a Datsun 1200 ute with a T50 but the starter is on the passenger side, (Australian spec?)
Sometimes we are in such a hurry to help we ignore the finer details.
I have waited a week and still the 4ac one has not arrived, but the fwd starter from my AE82 spares car is working great in the little Datto.
I feel so dumb
but if this helps, the experience was worthwhile
cheers
