Pe, how do those u-joints hold up. I like that setup. Has anybody done a bendix setup to the starter ring?

I have used my milwaukee 18v drill on the high gear to start up to a G-62, no problems. I use a grade 8 allen bolt red locktited in a 3" sullivan starter hub, chucked up in my battery drill. I used my dynatron on a 12v garden tractor battery to start a ryobi every time out.
