I am working on a 18 HP 1963 Johnson outboard. I want to install an electric starter. I bought a Evinrude 40 HP thinking the starters were the same. Of course the bracket is different as I suspected but all the reading I've done indicates the starters are the same. It looks pretty long and it'll be a tight fit if it will go in. As for the bracket I would like to get hold of a factory one but being a Millwright I can likely make one up. Any suggestions are welcome, Thanks
