The starter that gave this problem is the first new starter I have bought in about 3 years. With all the starters previous to this one, rotating the case had no effect on function. Wonder what's changed and why?
I remember the first time I took a look at the terminal location problem, my first thought was to cut the mounting plate off the case reposition and weld back on. I thought I would try the case spin first , it worked so I never gave the mount plate thing another thought Might have to go back to that mounting plate idea again if this can't be solved. I hate it, case rotation is a couple of minutes, relocating the plate ..a couple of hours. I got to find someone who knows electric motors to help me with this one.
