Hmm. I've got several engines sitting on the floor, some turbo, some not... starters are all laying on the ground, I'll look them over. I'm sure there were strength improvements over the years. likely soldering/winding techniques have changes technology has changed from the 60's to the 80's *(not all good though...) possibly the webbing on the nose cone on the older ones were thinner?
