I think you have to mod the bell housing but someone who knows will be along soon.... HT do them.

Cosworth flywheel is slightly bigger diameter than pinto flywheel, cossie has 240mm diameter clutch, pinto has 215mm. As toby says, I think you have to mod the bellhousing to fit it on a pinto. better off just getting a pinto high torque starter, be less hassle!! Just out of interest, 2wd cosworth starter is the same as a 1.6 CVH one!

As its been said you have to mod the housing for a cossie starter and even then you have problems with them working loose over a period of driving, high torque starters work well but i know of someone who has gone through three of them with his pinto in the last couple of years!

Yeah I've had loads just stop working, the ones I keep getting seem very sensitve to ingress of dirt or oil which isn't ideal on an OSF

 

I thought the cosy ones are more reliable but have no experience.

Cool, I've seen people selling them on ebay and listing them as cvh as well as 2wd cossie , must admit I tried a cvh one on my cossie for a little while but it was pants!! but then again cvh starters have always been pants Got a high torque one now and it's brill
