FWIW I tried a Napa high torque two bolt starter and went through 2 in under 6 month. they kept shearing the drive off. Went back to the standard inline gear reduction starter 9the second one you linked) and it works like a champ. Now the DB offers great products from what I understand but I am a bit leary of the off set gear reduction units now.

True on both accounts!
I told Napa I wanted a refund! They weren't too impressed with that so they just gave me the other style starter!
