Just got a new 12v starter for a 8n ford but the drive gear is longer than the old starter and is in gauged in the flywheel. Is this normal on replacement 12v starters?
 
I'm not understanding your question.

Are you trying to attach the bendix to the starter? If so, see soundguy's reply.

If the bendix is extended, see tip # 52 at the link.

Or......if you are truly unlucky, you got the wrong bendix on that starter. It happens.
