IIRC you can change a snout on a starter. It was an obscure article on this site & I haven't reviewed it lately. May B some one can chime in here (as to my correctness and how to do it /or/ tell me I way off!). If I think about it, I can't see how i'd be done (is a solid piece @ the housing, you'd have to machine the shaft, etc) but it seems there was some sort of work-around method...
Also some way to change bolt flange between 2 and 3 bolt starters.
At this late hr I may be a lill daft (not the 1st time either!)...
:roll:
