| Self supporting like the autostick starter is the only way to go IMHO, I don't fool around with starter bushings. |

Auto stick starter from autozone.....remanufactured from Bosch. That's what
I use instead of the 12/6 reducer bushing. I think it was $45.00 with lifetime warranty. No brainer. I wished I would have learned about this starter before I bought my TMI high torque starter that was $200.00 bucks that's still in the box....lol.

Thanks guys. I will be going with the autostick starter also. It took finding the right threads and getting a solid answer from you guys to make me realize it was the easiest solution.
Also helps that there is one at my flaps. That means I don't have to wait. I was afraid that my build was going too be delayed.

If you have not done it or are not aware of it, the 6 volt bell housing has to be clearanced to take 12 volt flywheel...

Thanks Dale. It is on the list of "things to do."
Right now I am realizing that single port heads have a larger step in the two studs between the spark plugs. I needed to put on the single port heads because of single port tin.
