RAC401 Powerlite High Torque Starter Motor

The Powerlite RAC401 is a high torque starter motor that replaces inertia-type starters.

It has a power rating of 1.00 kW, operates at 12 V and has 9 teeth. Its weight is 4.00 kg.

Fitments listed are Bristol Straight 6 Engine, MG TD, MG TF and MGA. Inertia-type replacements are listed for MGB and Sunbeam Alpine.

Powerlite describes its starter range as lightweight gear-reduction units that provide increased cranking speeds and more cranking power than original units while drawing less current from the battery. They are intended for road competition applications, particularly with tuned engines or adverse conditions. The units are direct replacements for original units and require no vehicle modifications. They work with positive and negative polarity, except for the Slimeline range. Their compact, lightweight design can make installation easier than with the original unit, and units are modified where necessary to aid fitment.
