6volt starter will NOT fit 12 volt hole and ring gear

Was trying to get 6 v starter onto a 59 automatic to fast spin it-whole nother story- and discovered 6 v will not fit 12 plate.

Close examination show the 6 v has a larger diameter shaft. The 12 v is much smaller so the 6 volt will not mesh properly.

So it looks like a 12 volt will fit a 6 volt but not visa versa- tried 3 6 volt before I discovered the problem.

So beware a 12 volt starter might work but it will be loose fitting and teeth might not mesh very well.
