Default Starter 408 mk1

I have found a starter motor with the same specification as the Australian one. Torqq 6203. It replaces 3-bolt with 2-bolt. The spigot is the correct diameter and the bolt spacing is correct.

However, there are two problems:
1. To run free of motor, it must be mounted upside down. Then the drainage ends up.
2. Pinion goes out 45 mm compared to 50 mm with original starter motor. It then has only half the engagement on the ring gear.

The flange is 7.5 mm thick. Expect to remove 2.5 mm which gives an engagement of 7.5 mm. Possibly I will make it in steel.

All the searches I've done in the US on my engine type only show remanufactured 3-bolt starters.
