lol please help
please remember even if you get this pre-engage starter sorted, it going to eat teeth on the flywheel!... the flywheel teeth on the HA, HA and early HC's was chamfered away from the engine, so that the bendix once fired towards the engine would mesh smoothly..
Its the opposite on pre engaged starters they fire away from the engine not towards and therefore require the teeth chamfer to be the other way around (e.g. on the engine side of the teeth on the flywheel).
Why are you using this style of starter ? makes more sense to fit the correct starter
