Re: [FlyRotary] My, it's a heavy starter
  I use a Subaru starter on my cog belt redrive and I will on on my Dodge redrive, its much lighter and parts are readily available where as the Mazda parts are harder to find, back when I was running the Ross redrive I went to the Mazda dealer to get some brushes and they wanted $180 for them, like get real so I made my own from brushes from the hardware store.
  I looked into converting my Ross over to a Subaru starter and thought it was possible but it blue chunks before I converted it over.
  the tooth mesh is the same so all you have to do is reposition the starter.

I have the PSRU all mounted up and it looks mighty spiffy.

I got out the starter and I noticed how heavy it is. Has anyone attempted to lighten it up?

Also, I'd like to go though the starter because it is used, not new. Any good sources for a rebuilding kit, or brushes, bearings, etc?
