[Spits] High-torque starter fitting

[Matthew Milkevitch]

Fellow Spitfire Enthusiasts,

I have recently purchased a high-torque starter for my '77 Spitfire.  I've found that the unit will not fit.  No matter how I rotate it, the solenoid either contacts the engine block or the steering arm (steering column rod?).  Has anyone else had this experience?  

Thanks,
