Starter options?

I installed a PowerMaster 9612 starter on my truck. I suspect your Jegs branded starter is a relabeled PowerMaster because the instructions you posted look identical to the PowerMaster instructions. Anyway, I had the exact same problem where there was too much clearance. I have the luxury of having a friend who has a milling machine, so I was able to machine off a bit of material from the mounting surface to get it to fit right. I had to machine off .020". Maybe you could find a local machine shop that could cut yours down. It only takes about 5 minutes to do it on a manual vertical mill.
