i am in need of a new starter, and there are a number of companies out there, any suggestions on who to use or who to stay away from?

74 1.8 in case anyone has a good used one.
thanks
Brian

I had a bad experience with a FLAPS stater...it worked intermittently for a while then stopped working all together while I was on a road trip.

I ended up going the hi-torque mini starter route from this ebay vendor and I am very happy with it so far:

He appears to be out of stock for the 914 right now though. I paid $120.

That's odd...a SR17X works in a bug, so wouldn't you just use the bug starter version in a 914?
SR17X was standard in the VW automatics, many put them in standard trans bugs.
