I just received the nippondenso starter that I ordered from Surplus Center.  (Surplus Center.com.)
It was originally meant for snowmobiles, weighs 7 lbs. and cost the grand sum of $18.99.
The gear meshes perfectly with the flywheel gear and it turns the correct direction. They have
about 350 of these left. Tracy- does this give you any ideas about some sort of standardized
starter for your redrive? You could buy a bunch of them for that price and include them with the
redrive( with appropriate markup, of course.)
