Size of the radial shaft seal (oil seal) in the starter

[Droneh8tr]

83 venture, 2 brush starter

What is the dimensions of the oil seal inside the starter?

Also, is their a part number on the starter somewhere so I can make sure it goes to a venture?

Does first gen. have the same dimensions as the 2nd gen?

I've got a rebuild kit and everything is fitting except the oil seal, it's too small... I'm being told that it's the correct size.. So I want to make sure I have the right starter for my bike AND make sure my supplier sent me the right one and isn't trying to get out of sending me the right one..

I don't need to mention the supplier, I just need info. to say their either right or wrong..

 

Thanks

Starter o-ring is an AS568 Dash # 213, 1/8" wide x 0.921 ID.

 

I beleive all Venture starters are interchangeable as well as VMax's 85-07.

 

4 brush starters were begun in 94 on Vmax's, I think.

 

Picture attached of external difference between 2 & 4 brush stock starter. Top one is a 2 brush, note Phillips head screw in case at midline, there are 4 of them. Bottom is a 4 brush case, partly disassembled, no screws around mid line.

Thanks for someone responding with something... But, what I need is the dimesions of the oil seal inside the starter.

I think this would even help... If someone has a starter dissassembled, please measure the bore where the oil seal gets pressed into. This would be the rubber seal next to the needle bearing. Or, if you have the seal out, measure that..
