Bosch rebuilt or High-Torque Starter, Which one to get. Options

[HansJan]

Hello,

Having a starter issue. Ever since the charging system and electrical shorts have been worked out, the starter is cranking strong.
However since this morning it is not cranking any more (just a loud "click"). hit the thing with a hammer (used to do the trick 25 yr ago, on the old Audi) but without success.

So I'm shopping for a new starter.

There are the Bosh rebuilds (at Pelican and AutoAtlanta) approx. $116.
There is the High Torque starter from Performance Product (Pelican) $255.

Car is a 1972 with 103mm cylinders (based on 2.0l case).
In this matter I only care about reliability and durability.

In the opinion of the 914World brain-trust, which starter is the one to get?

Just to close-out this thread.

Based on the comments received above, I decided to purchase the Bosh starter that is used for the older 911's. (Bosch SR68X on Amazon for $217).
Even though it lis smaller then what I took out of the car (see picture), it crancked strong and started the car right up.

Not sure what is wrong with the unit that was in the car. It makes a loud "CLICK" when trying to start, but it would not turn. Bypassed the starting circuit with a remote starter (from Harbor Freight) to test it. Im too lazy to ship it. But if one of you local guys want to pick it up and play around with it be my guest.

Thanks to all, for your comments.
