Hello,
I am installing a lightened M20 G260 flywheel into my 318i M42 G240. The G240 requires me to reuse my M42 starter with the existing pinion gear replaced with the pinion gear from a M20 G260 starter to match the flywheel tooth profile.
The pinion gear can be removed from a M20 G260 starter by simple disassembling. So, if anyone has a non functioning M20 G260 Starter sitting around collecting dust, shoot me a PM.
For reference, here are some images:
Part #7 in the following diagram:
