GM 4.3L starter nose breakage and time delay kit

#1. I have seen several discussions here regarding these issues. I had a LP powered Clark CGP50 lot #9515 that we took in trade.
The starter has failed twice and this time the nose cone broke off.
There is no starter bracket on the end of the starter. I assume my customer removed it and we will install a new one which I assume will help the nose cone from breaking off. Is there a GM part # for this?

#2. I have read that there is a time delay kit for the engine which would also cure the nose cone breakage. Was this a standard item on this truck or is it something that has to be added? If it is standard equipment where would it be located? If it isn't can you give me the Clark part #?

The Clark PT# for the starter brace is 1813285. I'm not sure about the delay. That may just be a matter of hooking up a laptop and programming the delay in. Ours just got sent to the shop. I was hoping the noise was just a starter issue and when I ordered the replacement starter I was told I needed to order the new style brace which comes with installation instructions which include what to do with a cracked block. Yay! When I got more into it I found that the extended crank time finally rounded the teeth on the flywheel and the starter could no longer catch. So now they're pulling the engine at the shop.
