I worked for Hyster for 12 years and saw many of the 4.3 engines. Had starter problems, breaking nose cone, or breaking bolts off with only one or two. Biggest cause? Not crappy design, but tech not tightening the bolts up, using other than the starter bolts. Didn't need to add anything. Many of these trucks had 8,000 to 10,000 hours on them without issue. Use correct bolts and tighten correctly, the bracket keeps the starter from miss aligning should the mounting bolts become loose.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
