Default starter drive

My 51 with 226 engine starter drive refused to engage the flywheel. After
removing the starter i see that the spring bolt on the outboard end is gone.
The spring is good and the gear slides back and forth nicely. Macs has new
drives but im sure they must be made offshore. Anyone used these? I might
be better off just replacing the bolts and locks on mine? Also I havent been
able to fish the missing bolt out with a magnet. thanks for any input.

We have USA made drives. We also stock the bolts and lockwashers and springs. Honestly don't know where the bolts and washers are made however.
