I had one on the 4/4. Poor old Lucas one could only just turn the engine over with my silly compression ratio. Geared unit was expensive, but well worth it.

Best thing I've ever bought for my Plus 4.

Went for a WOSP one as I got a healthy discount on one from Demon Tweeks

Gemmer was 1st best, gear reduction starter 2nd best, alternator 3rd best, Porterfield brake linings 4th best, 72 spoke wheels and new Khumo tires 5th best. And so it goes.
