Hi Neil,
I guess the strength in the way the starter is held ( I thought the same) is that it is pulled into the bell housing and locates in the recess, the screws therefore only really hold it in. Heck of job though working upside down. I have been adjusting my control rods on the T16 for the rear steering controls. Every time I re emerge my family wonder what has happened to me as my eyes go rather bulging from working upside down.
The restoration of my T16 has given me more of a workoout than any session in the GYM. Everytime I get in the thing to do a job I find the tool I need is outside or on the other side of the engine bay. I cannot tell you how many times I have got in and out of it!
