It looks like the GT may have a starter problem. I will be digging into it to find out for sure, but initial indicators are that it needs to be replaced. Has anyone tried a high torque starter? What

Both ears were slotted on this one, but I would have had to grind down a bolt to get it on the tab - and then fiddle with turning the bolt on flat at a time with a wrench. I can't see the reason for

You could be right - they just might. I can't think if they would fit and still have room to move the swinging end or not. There must be some kind of "shorty" that would do the job, at least. I have
