Starter motor, 8v and 16v the same?

[daymo]

Got a buggered g16a 8v solenoid, but starter motor otherwise fine. just wondering if the g16a 8v and 16v take the same starter motors or if I need to get an 8v specific one.

i could take a photo of my 16v one if that would help you?

Thanks, but mine aint that easy to see through the muck.

or is it just the heads that are different, ie could I bolt a 16v head straight onto my 8v block for more power etc, meaning the starter motors are the same?

as far as I know you cant just swap the heads over,

and i am sure the starters are the same, I have swapped mine once before, It used to be a long skinny one and now it is a short fat one, never had a problem so far. Not sure what it came off though
