Hi Spitfire owners,
What exactly is the purpose of the starter moter shim?  We had the starter 
replaced and there seems to be quite a racket as the Bendix unit of the 
starter pulls back off the flywheel.  Shim missing maybe?  The shop that did 
the work acknowleged the noise and said they would replace the starter if the 
noise persisted, but I was wondering about the shim and its role in the 
Bendix unit/noise.
