Lamar PM-1203 starters

I tend to see lot of remarks on Sky-tec light weight starters.   Is there any feedback on the Lamar lightweight starter?  I'm out for overhaul and might switch to a light weight.

I have the Lamar 24V Version for the Continental and really like it. It's a good balance between the older heavy starters and the cheaply made lightweight starters.

I have a Skytec XLT starter which was used for about 30 hours before I remade my engine baffling and replaced it with an inline starter.  I have the J model type airbox and air filter and there was not enough room for the LS-PM starter (I can confirm part No.).  Since it was installed the air filter had to be undermined to clear the starter.  That has all been fixed now.  So I am no longer using this starter which is as good as new.  Anyone interersted?  You can PM me, call me at (617) 877-0025 or e-mail me at john.breda@gmail.com.

Sounds like the Lamar would not fit without mods.
