These have gone way up in price over the years, and while we can still supply them, at this point we recommend upgrading to a modern Gear Reduction starter instead, which is linked below. The modern starter is better, cheaper, more reliable, and commonly available if you need one fast. The first time around you'll pay a little more because you have to buy the adapter plate to fit it (linked at the bottom of that page). But the one-time expense will save you money and hassle over the long run.

The other option is an aftemarket rebuilt starter, also linked below, but it will still be the original style so it will retain all the limitations of that old design.

Fits Vehicles:

  • Bus (Type 2)
    • 1976-1979
  • Vanagon
    • Air Cooled: 1980-1981
