I have a Clark CGC70 with this engine in my fleet. I never installed this delay kit. Perhaps it came with it. But I have changed starter twice in it already. First type of cage installed originally did not fit retrofit updated starter and had to be modified. I was not going to spend over $400 for starter brace. Engine had never experienced any issues with breaking off the nose cone. I also changed starters in other makes with the same engine like Hyster S155 which used Denso gear reduction starter which bolts to transmission housing. Toyota 5FGC50 which uses Denso and bolts to transmission, Cat FGC50K which uses simple brace from ground to oil pan bolt. And none of them experienced problem Clark design had. It makes me believe GM designed this engine to fit multiple transmissions without need of redesigning tranny housing to accomodate starter and it did not worked out very well.

Fact of the week
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
