MG MGA - Starter motor

Notice that Moss have a sale on and knocking a few bob off stuff. Our A has a 5 bearing engine and a 3 synchro box, which high torque starter motor should i be looking at

It's the one that is listed for MGA & MGB 3-synchro, although when you click on it, it just says MGB '62-'67.

It's essentially to go with the 3-synchro 'box. MGBs had both 3-bearing and 5-bearing engines with the 3-synchro 'box. They used the inertia, rather than pre-engaged starter, which is what I assume you have at the moment?

Cheers David, thought it would be that one but just in case...yes have an original starter, fitted one of the high power ones to the midget many years ago and apart from the noise it has done well and continues to do so.
