I had to make an adjustment on mine by drilling another hole in the bracket so it would line up. Mount bracket to engine bock then install starter, mark bracket where it lines up with starter. Take bracket off and drill new hole.

Had a new tube from R & S Spring $156 and it took care of the vibration. Money well spent.

My starter had the nose broken off, I plan on having the starter rebuilt for a spare. There is a rebuild shop for starters & altenators near my job and they told me to bring it in for a estimate, what should I expect to pay for a complete rebuild???

I bought a mini starter off ebay a few weeks ago from DB Electrical in TN. So far so good. :-D Called them first and asked all the questions about 24V MV starters and was sold because they had all the answers. They have been in business since 1981.

A-1 and R & S spring had the same price quote, $150 for just the tube replaced and $225 - $250 to add new u-joints. I guess these are the 2009 prices!

I have the same problem with my 86 1008 and got a quote of $150.00 from a truck spring shop. Is that a reasonable price:?:
