Ken,

I'm confused. On the starters (note plural) that I have in the garage, the
starter drive gear, actuated by the solenoid) moves freely on a shaft which
is held by the nosecone of the starter. This is part of the starter and
therefore replaced with each starter replenishment cycle. When I remove the
starter and rebolt to the bellhousing the starter seems to be located by the
circular recess in that housing. The two bolts also seem to be a close fit
through the starter housing holes. Is there a further locator in the bell
housing?

Thanks
