my starter spins fine on bench, when installed makes a hammer noise when engaging. maybe too much end play in shaft, moves aobut3/16 inch. i put on new bendix, do they ever need to be shimmed out, how much play is normal. any idea?

Re: battery disconnect switch

the fuse does not protect the starter, if a brake pedal hangs up, power can be drawn down. i like to have all power cut off in an old barn with lots of autos,mice etc.i wish the fuse was between the battery and starter.
