Subject:Gowesty reduction starter user input please

Hi all. My Bosch starter is on borrowed time. It spins great until it hits
a flat spot. Then it may not spin at all until hit with a hammer. Spare
used Bosch starter may be no better.

It's my understanding that gowesty made improvements to the latest edition
starter they now sell. User input in gowesty starters would be appreciated.

Since I'm on a road trip, am considering the gowesty reduction gear starter
vs the mullendore adaptor/TDI starter since it *seems* the former will be
an easier install while away from home.

Much thanks,

Neil.
