Bad news $900 for a f'n starter!!!!
But they gave me a cool hat!
I paid more than that and didn't even get a hat!
If you use a stud on the top, weld a handful of coupling nuts together so the nut extends beyond the end of the starter. Now, if you need to remove your started on the trail, you can do it with a crescent wrench or a pair of channelocks!
The bolt is 3/8-16, the socket head cap screw hex driver size is 5/16", but 8 m/m works pretty well too.
