Default Mini Starter Bendix gear - where to get?

Anyone know where you can get bendix gears or replacement parts for the "generic" knock-off mini starters? ...Already chewed up a gear just starting the car in the garage (wasn't shimmed right).

Most of those so called mini aftermarket starters use parts from imported *** starters and are also found in several Dodge/Plymouth applications. A good local auto parts store may be able to help you. Cut rate discount stores are not what I consider as GOOD auto parts stores. A wiser choice would have been to use a late model small GM starter available most everywhere.

May be true if I can't find a gear. At the time, the price was right for the starter vice the big ole factory unit or a TRUE high $$ mini starter. May not be such a bargain now if I have to junk it just because the gear is bad
