Default electric starter

i have an electric starter and the plastic spinners break from all of the torque. I was looking at a spinner nut like this one:

yes
you just turn the donut around (the donut is the rubber section on the spinning
part of the starter).

Hey Graham.. Yes your starter will work on those, Just turn
your starter insert around and use the end with the small hole
it works great..

For a longer lasting rubber insert in your starter, get a Sullivan. I had a smaller spinner nut that was too small to try turning. So, I flipped the "donut" around. Didn't work until I got a Sullivan. However, they aint cheap!
