punto starter

matt1267

Hi There
Ive just received a recon starter for my MK1 punto 16v 1.2 sporting, ive taken the old one off and checked with new one, there are 9 teeth on old one and only 8 on the new one. Ive contacted the place i got it from and he says that

"depending on the original make of starter fitted varies the amount of teeth on the bendix...they all interchange on 1.2 models so no problem....always worth checking though!"

Is this correct, will it still work, or do i need to match the 9 teeth one im taking off?

Thanks
Matt
