ABSTRACT:
A starter motor attachment angle adjusting method and apparatus which enable a starter motor to be attached to an internal combustion engine in a variety of rotational positions are disclosed. The apparatus includes an adaptive ring with a plurality of threaded position defining holes, and an adapter with a plurality of holes by which the adapter is securely connected to the adaptive ring by bolts. The position defining holes in the adaptive ring allow the adapter to be rotationally repositioned with respect to the adaptive ring. The adaptive ring is connected to the starter motor and the adapter is connected to the engine. Hence, the starter can be attached to the engine in a variety of rotational positions. Further, the apparatus allows rotational repositioning without interfering with transverse securing bolts which connect the adapter to the engine. Alternatively, the adaptive ring has a polygonal outer edge which interlocks in a plurality of rotational positions with a recess formed in the adapter.
