why would you want one?

not a standard fit excect for automatics,
never herd of one that will fit.

prob easier to replace bell housing if its damaged

surly easier than trying to drill out the bushing hole for a larger brass bushing etc

don't want to take off the gearbox either, call it lazyness

has the brass bush disintegrated then?
Is the hole in the bell housing no good for the new bush?

I don't think any motor will do what you want.. As Billy says, far easier to change the bell housing

what i'm planning to do tomorrow is to install the oversize bushing i have got. i'm going to drill out the casing hole to accomodate.

i'm surprised that there are no starters available that will support themselves when installled.

would make it a solid repair, no more to worry about after that.

a self supporting starter will still have a bush that will wear just as quick as the bush in the bell housing.

get down the local starter rebuilder and check a few core motors out!
