What you have to do to make it fit is remove the clip (ring) from the shaft to remove everything but the upper gear, cup and shaft. The upper gear on this bendix is thicker and thus the shaft is longer, you cannot use that.

Put everything you removed on the original bendix shaft en put the original clip/ring back in the groove.

Make sure the clip is all the way in the groove so the bottom cup fits on the ring also. it has a small groove that fits around the clip. that way you ensure that it is low enough so the bottom sprocket wil grip the flywheel sprocket.

I put the two original small washers in at the bottom and the top of the shaft.

This is a winner, start every time! no sounds of teeth kicking in, just normal starter sounds. And as long as i press the button it keeps turning the engine.
Your start is equal to 2015? so it would be enough to change all the top of the bendix?
