I ended up having to fabricate my own spacer/gear stop and return assembly out of some tube steel and washers. It actually worked out really well.
I did the same for a temporary fix when it started happening to the starter in my 1204 with M12. Ended up buying a new starter as other bushings and pieces were worn and causing slop. Think I paid $45 for it IIRC
