STARTER SELECTION Explained!
1. STANDARD Corvair ROTATION (you are just flipping the differential ring gear SWING AXLE ONLY)
A. You need a Corvair STARTER and STARTER ADAPTOR (to fit Corvair starter to VW transaxle case).
OR
B. You can order our heavy duty reverse rotation VW starter (rotates opposite of a regular VW) and now you
DO NOT need to get the starter adaptor.
2. REVERSE ROTATION Corvair Engine
A. You can use a standard VW starter (not really great for starting a Corvair engine). Older 6 volt ones need
109 tooth ring gear and are not suggested)! 12 volt VW starter "OK" (130 tooth).
OR
B. BETTER YET get our HEAVY DUTY VW STARTER and you'll spin that Corvair engine with ease!

CORVAIR STARTER ADAPTOR & BUSHING
Adapts the Corvair starter to VW transaxle for reverse differ ential ring gear kits. Mates to 130
tooth ring gear. (127 tooth ring gear no longer available. If you have that set up we still have
the offset bushings but other than that you'll have to get the 130 tooth ring gear and this
new adaptor). Also see reamer.
Starter Adaptor & Bushing C8763 1 lb.
Replacement Bushing (ea.) C8764 2 oz.
Replacement Offset Bushing (ea.) C6121 2 oz.
OFFSET BUSHING REAMER
This tool is needed to ream out the starter bushing hole in '71 and later VW
transaxle bell housings. The hole is a special size and requires this tool to size
the hole proper ly. If you already had the old offset bushing and adaptor, you do
not need this reamer.
RENTAL C8761 12 oz.
REVERSE FAN & PULLEY
For reliable belt tracking and best cooling for the alternator, you need the proper fan & pulley. This pulley
is deeper to provide a guide for the belt slack so it does not hit the fan blades and get cut. The fan is the
proper pitch for best cooling with reverse rotation. Three cut and broken belts would pay for this setup.
C8762 2 lbs.
REVERSE BELT GUIDE
With a reverse rotation Corvair the slack side of the belt is on the alternator side. This guide keeps the
belt tracking properly. It is included with the Reverse Engine Kit.
