Hi Sue,Norm and all,

You can still buy the right starter cup but it would work out expensive (exchange rates plus postage)

Another option may be to change the starter locking pawls over with ones from a Victa starter,the orange
Victa starter bolts straight on to the Villiers cowl but it won't look a factory standard mower .If you
swap some Victa parts into the Villiers starter the standard Victa cup should work.

The Chonda cup looks a close size with the Villiers Cup so that may be the easiest option.

(in the image of the starter cup with the measurements under the cup is a 7mm spacer)

Just a few more ideas https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/victa-starter-pawls/283013482726?hash=item41e4eb08e6:g:8MUAAOSwcwlbJ5op
