## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It fits my 69 vw beetle perfect with my 12 volt starter
*by K***. on June 21, 2024*

I converted my old beetle powered sandrail to 12 volts this is the bushing i needed to run a 12 volt starter on my old 6volt transaxle. Who would have guessed there were different sizes but after shredding multiple starter bushings i learned that this one was my problem solver. Thanks Jeff

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Starter Bushing
*by J***S on June 11, 2024*

Perfect fit for my case and starter

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The bushing fits my 6v transmission case just fine
*by M***Z on July 1, 2019*

I bought a transmission case cut-off to use as a starter adapter for an engine test rig. It was an old 6v transmission case so the standard 12v bushing was too small so I ordered this product. Fits fine. I push started it into the hole with my fingers and drove it the rest of the way with a wooden dowel. Be sure to grease up the bushing (inside) before you mount the starter. If you are using it on a 12v engine you have to clearance the case to make room for the 12v flywheel.
