First time I've used one of these silly little starters ever.
Only way to go unless yer goin' fer OEM gold...
I've run a mini w/heat shield for 20 years with no issues...
And that's captured around tubes de la Hookeare...
Like Mike mentioned, POS stud can be tight, but beyond that, I'd never go back to OEM...
Which wasn't gonna fly with the Hooker's anyway...

Ma never used a shim.that is basicaly a cover to keep crap out of the bell area.Ive run without them since the 60s and never had a problem.Most problems are caused by not having the starter seated correctly.Oh my mini in a 12.5 440 has been in for at least 15 years.Still cranks like a /6.Rocky

Rocky, I not advocating shims or grinding. just answering his questions. there is 'something' not straight or he's using the wrong mini-starter based on all I've read. I still use the good old fashion 200 lb pain in the rump stock one. why? cause I've got a lifetime warranty from National Auto from 25 years ago and someday, someday I will get to cash it in!
