I was also breaking the bendix nose cone until I investigated the cause.

When switching to 12-volts the bendix will spin out FASTER and HARDER and if the center carrier-bearing (thrust side ) is not properly shimmed the bendix gear will go out to far and hit the nose-cone-housing.

FIX:

Move the bendix all the way out towards the nose-cone and if the gear hits the cone then it will thrust it so hard when activated it will break the cone. Add washers to the inside of the center bushing holder to get at least .080 between the bendix gear and the nose-cone. ( with the bendix all the way towards the cone. ( the gear should never hit the cone ) Use the FIBER-washers to get proper setting .

NOTE: To slow the started down a little i use a 12-volt cable made at least 6 ft long and run it down the side if the frame before going to the starter.

My starter is 12 years old and no problems as of yet.
