IMI Hi-Torque starter parts?

[EastMT]

Does anyone sell the parts to rebuild a 101N? I am assuming it just needs contact points and a solenoid. Would like to avoid shipping to/from Hi-Torque.

I have bought parts before from Kartek

You can fit 2 starters in 1 of those pre paid boxes from the post office.
I think I shipped 2 back to IMI for like $22 or something.

If your in a pinch, I have a spare I could send to you

Sure seems like IMI starters need to be rebuilt often. Why?

Thanks for the suggestion. I picked up a couple flat rate boxes just in case.

Thanks for the offer! I had a spare starter when the original quit, so now I want to get this one working to keep as the spare.

This starter was in my Squirt when I bought it and I don't know how old or how much use it got prior to me. Sure was glad I had a spare when it quit. I don't know why they have a shorter life.

They’ve been in the sand getting CV grease flung at them for a decade?

Couple of things with these starters, the part that is hard to get and must get from IMI will be the adapter plate, besided that all the contacts and parts can get out of a Toyota starter, If you use Oriley's then it is Lifetime LOL,

The biggest issue for me is a trip get destroyed by the Gear getting pulled off, I know for me and my customers, TIG weld the gear onto the Shaft,
no more worry that the clip will pull it off,
