Need to service the original starter, it is the common Bosch 914 one with a short output shaft.
My spare starter is a VW411 one, also a Bosch but with a much loger output shaft
reaching in to the engine case since it has no bearing for the output side which the original has.
I thought the 411 one would just slip in but there seems to be no hole in the engine case for the shaft, still I can see this type be sold as a 914 starter on Ebay.

Were both types used in the 914 and was the hole in the case just made when the long shaft type starter was installed?

Dog gone it I just ordered on line a SR15X Saturday from Advance Auto Parts that's supposed to be here Thursday for my '74 914 1.8L.
Thanks larss for posting and Ron and Jeff for your timely replies.
Advance Auto on line said it would fit the 914 4 1.8L.
I won't even open the box when it gets here, and I'll send it back.
