Thinking about it Danny, i've got one in my garage in shifnal. Came to me with a job lot so no idea if it works, but your welcome to try if you want.

Whats wrong with yours is it definately the starter thats fried?

well thought it was the battery to start with,, so replaced and it dosnt start,, i sold the car last week and the dude got half way up the road and he said it cut out and wouldnt start,, so fingers crossed its just the starter, and nothing up with the engine!! tho i just tried to turn by hand and it feels solid!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr,,

hmmm that doesn't sound like the starter, does it turn over on the starter? is there power getting to it?

If it 'just cut out' it could simply be a wire thats dropped off, have you checked all the wiring including the ones to the starter?
