Datsun 1200's A12 engine uses a traditional type of starter motor with a Bendix gear drive.

The Aftermarket Bosch starter motor is far better the the orgiinal specification Datsun 1200 starter. The newer Datsun starter by Mitsubishi from B210 or B310 is good too.

Interchange

Strict interchange:

• Manual Transmission
  • 23300-H5000, H5001, H7301 (Hollander 1217)
  • All Sunny 1971-1979 Manual Tranmission
  • (what about 1980-1982?)
  • What about Datsun 1000?
  • Hollander 1395 fits if you swap the drive gear
• Automatic Transmission
  • Part number?

Upgrade

1977 Canada models and 1978-up USA models used an optional Reduction gear starting motor with increase torque for easy starting in sub-zero temperatures. This is also a good upgrade for high-compression engines. On the B210 it requires a different right-side engine mount.

Details on fitting this to a Datsun 1200 are needed. Can it be done?
