About This Product
If you're working on a Shovelhead with a Prestolite starter, you know how specific the parts can be. This starter shaft housing from MCS is an OEM-style replacement for the original 31465-79 housing. It is designed specifically for late 1979 to 1982 FL Shovelhead models equipped with rear chain drive. Please note that this will not fit FX models. It provides a solid mount for the starter shaft, ensuring reliable engagement every time you hit the button. It’s a critical piece for keeping your classic Shovel starting reliably without the common headaches of worn-out vintage housings.
Manufacturer part number: 996579.
