Starter motor flywheel

Success!! Strong magnet stuck to the end of a telescopic aerial does the trick, after about 2 hours (yes - 2 hours) of fishing. All parts safely retrieved and Doris is back on the road with a replacement starter motor out of my collection of 5. Many thanks for all suggestions - much appreciated.
