Am I installing my flathead starter correctly?
Flathead newbe here and I got a starter off of ebay, the two bolts that hold the end plates on had nuts on the flywheel side. I took them off and used the bolts to bolt it to the starter plate, is this correct? It dosen't seem like much to hold the starter.

Re: Am I installing my flathead starter correctly?
In addition to the the two bolts thru the case, there should be a small "L" shaped bracket that bolts to the oil pan bolt above the end plate of the starter. This bracket provides support for the starter and is important. Sorry, I don't have a picture of it.

DAK RAT is right on the money,the small bracket helps support the weight of the starter.I don't have a picture of one either...
