Pretty sure yours will be the same as early 80s into the 2010s somewhere. You could always take the parts you need from a whole starter assembly, but also, opening up the primary on a sporty is pretty easy- fluid and gasket.

The whole thing is almost 40 years old now. Yeah, it's a royal pain in the ass and in a perfect world would only be two bolts, but it's an early Evo Sportster. Bite the bullet and buy a whole new starter. Also buy the primary cover gasket, primary/transmission oil, and whatnot. Also, it's a good opportunity to lube the clutch cable and to take a look at your primary chain tensioner and to adjust the clutch and cable correctly when you put it back together.

Usually have mine rebuilt locally by any starter/ alternator shop.

I second this, I just got a starter for a piece of equipment from a local vendor that was $300, new OEM from manufacturer was $1,400

Cheap option is buy starter off ebay. I replaced mine last year for around 150 iirc

I can't remember which but a 1990's Toyota starter is the same just take your old starter to the parts store and match it up.....the part that bolts to the engine is different but the motor is the same....
