Spring less Bendix Opinions?
I have been contemplating changing to a spring less Bendix. Can anyone relate some experience with using one of these?

I've never had a problem with my original, and wouldn't change.

I find the pozidrive Bendix less prone to kicking out prematurely.

I used an inertia drive for a while and went back to an original set up.
My one never engaged right with the ring gear. It would work but inspection after a few months showed it was chewing up the ring gear and itself -Karl |

Stay with the original and carry a spare spring.

Both my A’s have the modern starter drives. Put them in 10 years ago and never had any issues

Never had a problem with the modern drive and has been in since 2006.

Re: Spring less Bendix Opinions?
I have had good luck with modern drives on my Tudor. Especially since Snyders and probably others stated selling USA Made. V8s take the same starter as model A's and I have a USA Snyder's modern drive in my avatar roadster.

I use the modern (tractor style) on all my Model As except my 28 tudor that has an early starter with a smaller shaft.
