Anyone have a decent source for the starter (for example) Andy is using?

First two results are for Pelican Parts ...

I got one from AJR (Alan Johnson Racing) 30-40 years ago for my '71. Still going strong. Did add a relay to aid in hot weather starting.

Made a PP order, needed other stuff. Got the $269 starter on the way. Don't need one and my 914-6 has turned over pretty well. BUT, while the engine is out and everything is easy to get to, replacing a lot of stuff.

Really good to know so many like their TQ starters that have lasted many years!

the ebay starters are generic and don't have the right plunge depth on the housing. They require a proper shim to use
without the shim... many people have had damage to their flywheels
I replaced one for a friend on his 6

the ebay Bendix will push out through the starter ring on the flywheel, so the Bendix gear is only riding on half a tooth of the starter ring

eventually it shears teeth off of the starter ring and a new flywheel (dropping the transmission) is the repair.

This happened to me, just finished putting it back together. Had my Bosch starter rebuilt and went that route this time...
