It's an FS5W71B so was never used with a KA or a VG motor. The bell wasn't swapped. I pulled this out of a vehicle that had been flattened by an excavator and was about 2 feet high. It was laying upside down and I recognized it as an FS5W71B but the starter really threw me too. The vehicle was so destroyed I couldn't tell what it was. Took me three hrs to get it out but I saved it.

:D

 

When I first saw it upside down I thought, what's an FS5W71B doing in a Mazda. Didn't even notice the starter position until later the next day. Man that was tight. Unbolted the pp for room to lift the front up and out.

 

It was squashed in there!

 

Cheers Doug, drink up.
