That bracket is for an older motor.You will need one that also holds the solinoid.It will have round hole 2" for the solinoid.

thanks for your most welcome reply i understand what i need now whould you know where i could purchase a bracket and also will the starter motor be ok with the new bracket thanks regards bazzz

You can get the bracket here at boats.net.I think the starter will fit the bracket.The screw holes in the bracket are turned different.I have run into this before.Have you tried this starter out on your motor? The only other thing is the bendix gear on the starter the right size.Sometimes a larger flywheel will require a smaller gear and a smaller one a larger gear.
