So the teeth no longer engage at all based on their machining the starter plate to move it in the wrong direction. I get it.

Is this starter plate aluminum? Someone should be able to weld up holes in aluminum fairly cheaply. Make a template of the plate and hole pattern as exists and mark where the mounting holes need to be and drill them yourself. However, I don't know what this thing looks like and some factory-type starters have a thru-case bolt in some positions that are pretty long.
