Hi Karl and others,
Karl,
Dennis actually just recently installed your adaptor on my bus he is updating. He used the starter you recommended for me. Dennis will let me know when he doesn’t feel good about a mechanical choice and he popped it on for my new 2.3.
He actually mentioned in a conversation that if on the road I now could replace with either the unit for the adaptor or a original. So I have a bit more flexibility.
I’m looking forward to hearing that gear reduction starter and of course hearing my rebuilt 2.3.
Also, Karl, thanks again for the recent part you mailed me. It looks great and I can’t wait to have my bus back to start updating small items like that.
Best,
Eric Caron
