Just going to add this NOT that it helps you now but broken aluminium starter mounts normally only break after something has been replaced in the starter, and when refitting it in most cases people do not hold the mounts with a spanner before tightening the four securing bolts, and this in turn either loosens the aluminium mounts or they tighten up causing failure later.
I realize this post is a year old but I have just had this same issue happen to my upper starter mounts on my moster 185. Sheared completely through and badly gouged out their mating surfaces on the carter support.
I had to replace some parts on my starter a few months ago so I seemed to have made the mistake you have pointed out here.
I got a new carter support and starter mounts coming, but my question is: how firm do I torque these mounts/spacers to the carter support before I finish attaching the starter assembly with the securing bolts (this time holding the mounts steady with a spanner)? I can’t find a torque specs for these mounts in manuals. Are they just hand-tight?
