Tilton starter source?
 

Anybody got a good source for a new Tilton high-torque lightweight starter to fit Porsches--'83 SC, in this case? I just spent half an hour on line and can find all sorts of places that provide them for hotrods and musclecars but not Porsches. And none of the usual Porsche-parts suppliers seem to carry them. The Tilton website is no help, all it seems to do is describe their starters. (Pelican doesn't seem to carry them, at least not according to their search function.)

Somehow, it seems that it shouldn't be this hard to spend money...

What's wrong with this one? Not sure if it is a Tilton though:

to my understanding PP has a better high torque mfg than the Tilton

Right here at Pelican. http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/...ue_starter.JPG

Go to "911 & Carrera Gauges and Electrical" Then "starters".

Due to the shipping cost on a Starter Core return. I suggest the High Torque All The Time. Steve

The 911 starter is sometimes a troublesome beast. Before replacing your starter, make sure that you read the Technical Article by James K. Thorusen about Starter System Troubleshooting. If you are still having trouble turning over your 911 motor, or a high compression race engine, then try a high-torque starter motor. Core charge may apply.

Ron's right. The box mine came in says "IMI Performance Products, Inc".

Damn 5 responses on Sunday morning. We all need to get a life!;)

all our effort on a Sunday morning is only because it's for Steve

I'm spent...

Pelican $265 - 30 day return but might charge a 15% restocking fee; may not be Tilton; 8.1 lbs.
Perf. Products - $290 and can get a 20% discount?; 15% restocking fee
Paragon Hi Torque - $215 - not a Tilton, 90 "day warranty"
Gene Berg -- $200 -- weighs 9 lbs.; won't allow returns, no warranty

How much does the stock starter weigh?

Stock 911 starter (mid 70's) weighs 15.5 lbs

Jeg's was able to find the Porsche model in their Tilton catalog - they offered it to me at 5% off list - not enough to get me to bite - but it was special order for them.
