Ricks Motorsport Electrics Starter - 61-220
Affordable starters are constructed with longer-life bearings than OEM
Many OEM starter motors have an unprotected output needle bearing on the outside of the output shaft's seal; moisture can and does enter the output cap of the electric motor and follows the armature shaft to the unprotected output needle bearing, which corrodes the bearing
Rick's takes the extra step of installing a double-sealed ball bearing, with the output shaft seal on the outside of the bearing in their new aftermarket unit
This simple application of common-sense engineering does two things: first, the outside bearing is now protected from damaging water entry, and second, the sealed ball bearing is replaceable
Rebuild kits feature armature, brush plate with brushes, bearing, bearing seal and bushing (not for units with T-Moric starter)

Included Items:
(1) Starter motor
No instructions
