Starter Motor!!!!!!! I am going insane
Hi Guys!
I inherited a 71 Bay Kombi perfect exterior and interior (pretty lucky i know). Anyway the motor the was the last thing to be done. I invested heavily
in a rebuilt 2L and finally installed it a month ago. Ever since connecting it all up (exactly as before) and turning the key the I got nothing from
the starter. So after much work I found the ignition switch was cooked. I then installed a new one. Still nothing from the starter. So I then took out
the starter and got it refurbished by an auto electrician. After installing it yesterday and turning the key nothing!!!!!!!!!!!! I am ready to sell
the bloody thing I am that frustrated. Any help would be much appreciated. (note the lights seem to dim when turning the key all the way but no
clicking or turning from starter!)

Both straps haven't been changed and they worked before. They do look a little crappy i guess but they worked on the old motor. Is it worth a shot?
