I'd be careful about slamming JCW.

Their quality, selection and service have all skyrocketed since moving to
La Salle. They aren't the type to sell "a used starter with  fresh black
paint". If you have any questions about a part, the telephone jockey's will
typically track down an answer for you.

Wanna know how and where those starters are rebuilt? Ask 'em.

JCW is a good group, in my eyes.

You get what you pay for!  In this case it is probably a "rebuilt" that
is a used starter with  fresh black paint.

There is a good Bosch factory certified rebuilder in Seattle that
charged me about $100 each for both a starter and alternator rebuild,
and he does it right.  Check with Bob at Precision Electric,
425-486-5400.  He rebuilds primarily for the trade, but will work with
anyone who finds him.  I have used his services for over 10 years on my
MGBs too.
