He linked the .ca spruce site, U.S.A. prices are lower. Not sure what Spruce is doing but the starter skytec you linked 122nl is $550. CAD, which converts to $450. USD
but the 122nl is $429. on the .com spruce site, not $450. like the conversation from CAD to USD. Save $21. by ordering it on .com not .ca
Thanks Guys, Free shipping in Canada and it gets here lot faster. Need it ASAP. Can someone jusr re confirm 122-NL is bolt on replacement no mods required on the oil cooler exception to the starter cable.
and skytek needs oil brackett and cable modified, must be why hartzell is $200 more..

Curt and his PA22-160 used the Hartzell Lightweight and it was plug and play, weighs 9.5 lbs.
Both planes have normal oil cooler, alternator conversion.

Did you see this? He has his original starter available.

Do still have the original removed one if any interest.
I had a Hartzell version installed on my Pacer a few years back. When ordering from Spruce the Aircraft Make & Model was requested. It came with one of the ears machined off that would have interfered with the oil cool bracket. Was a direct bolt-up. I have since sold the plane so cannot speak to if it is still working well.

I have the Skytec installed. Had to to a little work on the bracket, had to machine off a couple of the installation bracket ears on the starter that don't apply to the PA-22. And cable had to be lengthened. All things others already said...but just to add to their comments, as I just did this a couple years ago.

Unfortunately duties and custom brokerage will eat up that difference in a hurry. Revenue Canada wants their cut.... mumble mumble
I didn't expect my $250. bid would be accepted and it wasn't, so I went up to $300., he wanted $999 for it so I didn't think he would accept that either, but 10 minutes later discovered I was now it's owner. I'm not even sure if I have the 122 or 149 tooth flywheel. If this doesn't fit my O-235 I will be asking $300 + shipping next week. Says new Kelly ERZ 8012, must be before Hartzell purchased Kelly Aero (same p/n as Hartzell ERZ 8012) hope I didn't buy a 300 dollar paperweight.
I think it is the same as this Hartzell at Aircraft Spruce
You have to modify one arm on the oil cooler bracket for the Sky-Tec NL starter. I found the picture, I shortened the rear tube and flatten it and drilled a hole and bolted it to the starter. It normally bolt to the crankcase. 20170412_155556.jpg

Did the same thing installing this starter on a Super Cub but used the lower lug beneath the cable stud to bolt the rear arm too instead of the upper one..
Thanks:
