I have carby 1600 with 1300 5 speed with no adapter plate. I used the 1300 starter motor, I had to grind a small piece on the back of the starter and a little on the rib on the block.

The grinding required is fairly minor
Fit it up and you will see where you need to remove the meat
There is a photo in a thread from the last six moths somewhere in Outers cyberspace

Not sure on the g16b but on the g16a its minimal. I was sceptical until I had it infront of me I took a little off the back of the starter body till it was all flush then a little off the rib on the block. I havnt got any pics sorry. When its infront of you you,ll see what I mean.
