has anyone recently bought one of the 130$ ebay starters?

I remember one needed a shim and didn't engage correctly
(I remember helping silva pull his damaged -6 flywheel after it ate the teeth off)

does anyone remember which are the better ones, versus the ones to stay away from?

last night the car did the hot start thing again after 20 minutes of idling in the garage
I think I need to give in and buy the ebay starter before RT66

thanks all!

I was having terrible hot start issues. Replaced the starter with this one. So far (fingers crossed) have not had any hot start issues.

I have also used this one on my Chevy powered 914's with good results.

I think that's the one I have on my 3.5L 911 racecar. Mine did come with a shim but I didn't use it. I've had it in the car a few years and a bunch of events on it with no issues - I'm happy with it.
