Yeah, been there, done that. Since installing the copper cables I can
almost taxi the aircraft on the old Prestolite starter -- when the
bendix decides to engage. Rather that perpetually
cleaning/lubing/replacing the thing I just want to junk the Prestolite
in favor of something bendix-free but would like to be sure that I
select something that (a) is going to fit properly and (b) isn't simply
going to be a fresh sort of hell

I believe that the Sky-Tec is the only lightweight that is
Bendix-free. The Magnaflite and B&C use the traditional Bendix
arrangement.
