RAC461 Powerlite High Torque Starter Motor

The Powerlite RAC461 is a high torque starter motor with 1.00 kW power, 12 V and 9 teeth. It weighs 4.10 kg.

Powerlite describes its starter motors as lightweight gear-reduction units, with 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 in adverse conditions.

The range is described as a direct replacement for original units, requiring no vehicle modifications. Powerlite starters work with positive and negative polarity, except for the Slimeline range. Units may be modified where necessary to aid fitment.

Fitments stated for the RAC461 are Darrian and Davrian models with 0.875 or 0.998 engines, from 1963 to 1976; Hillman Husky, Imp, Imp Californian, Imp Rallye and Imp Sport with either engine size for those years; Singer Chamois, Chamois Coupe and Chamois Sport with either engine size for those years; and Sunbeam Imp Sport and Stilletto with either engine size for those years.
