Diesel starter?

[drew@dyermaker.cs.uoguelph.ca (drew)]

Becuase it uses planetary reduction gears, it's not offset, but it is
longer.  This is what makes it a nice choice over the A1 diesel starter,
which has a much larger diameter armature than the gas version, and can be
a bit of a pain in the arse to wrench in, out and around, especially if
you have a crowded engine compartment (like Tobias's)

You're doing well to have made it to the 18th... I usually get nailed in
the first week... :)
