I take it you have an Inertia type in at the moment..
How old is the engine and have you got a diaphragm or verto clutch fitted.
Inertia starters are for diaphragm clutches and Pre- Ehgaged starters need to be used with verto type clutches.
Unless the flywheel starter ring has been changed on the verto type clutch an Inertia type starter can't / should'nt be used.

If it's from a MG Metro I'm pretty sure it would be a verto clutch  So it should need a Pre-Engaged. I think... Best wait for someone to give that assumption the all clear though!  |

I would say MG Metro's have pre-engaged starters and all Mini models got those starters from October 1985.
