I am interested in that "starter brace" does anyone have a pic of one?

I just got my starter back. new end frame and solenoid. I am only out $45. better than the 199. quote i got from the "parts changers" outlet.

While i am under there bbadfred i will look for he bolt area you speak of and see if i can fab up a brace. thanks for the heads up on the support brace.
