Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, match the part number SMX042, the Denso-style specification, and the physical dimensions including 65mm mount centres A, 47mm flange diameter, 6mm mount hole diameter, and 195mm overall length. Those measurements are the most practical way to confirm whether the starter will align with the existing mounting points and housing arrangement.

The electrical and engagement details matter just as much as the mounting pattern. This unit is 12V, 14 tooth, CCW rotation, with a 30mm pinion diameter and 10mm pinion at rest. If the existing starter differs in tooth count, rotation, pinion size, or rest position, it should not be treated as a direct match without checking the application carefully.

This starter is listed as new and uses a dry clutch design. That matters when comparing against a removed starter that may be worn, remanufactured, or configured differently. Weight is listed at 1.98kg, which can also help when confirming you are comparing like with like during a parts check.

The safest approach is to confirm the current unit’s details against the supplied dimensions and the identified application, then order only when the mounting and drive specifications line up. If the vehicle or equipment has been modified, or if an alternate starter has been fitted previously, the part number and measurements should be checked rather than relying on appearance alone.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number SMX042 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

For a starter motor in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.
