I have a 1964 vw air cooled bug, is there a starter that is 12v 109 teeth because all i find is 12v 130 teeth?

See i need a 12v starter with 109 teeth so i don't have to replace the flywheel. Because the 12v starters have 130 teeth. Could i take the old shaft out of my 6v starter and put it in a 12v starter that way the teeth stay the same? And do the make a generator for a vw bug that has 6v and 12v tabs?I have a 1964 vw air cooled bug, is there a starter that is 12v 109 teeth because all i find is 12v 130 teeth?I believe there are starters available in 12 volt with a 6 volt gear on them. A lot of guys just run 12 volts to the 6 volt starter. You can convert the whole mess to 12 volt but the bell housing on the trans will have to be modified to fit the larger 12 volt flywheel. Then there is the rest of the car, lights,T/signals,wiper motor...I have a 1964 vw air cooled bug, is there a starter that is 12v 109 teeth because all i find is 12v 130 teeth?Seems you a little mixed up, NO v.w. starter has 109 or 130 teeth. You confusing me on generator tabs also. I'm suposing you converting to 12 v from 6 v.! If so your 6 v. starter will be o.k. on 12 v. Find a bus or transporter fly wheel clutch an pressure plate for better traction with clutch. Get a 12 v. generator stand to put the 12v. generator on. Hope this helps, as I said your question is confusing.
