These guys are right.
Even if the old starter didn't need a
shim or
shims, the new one very likely does. That's based on the sounds that you're reporting
-that's what improper shimming sounds like.
You (or your brother) can go down to the parts house and ask for a few. They don't cost all that much. What you do is try a medium thickness shim first, then either add another (thinner) one or replace the medium thickness one with a thin one. Keep working on it until the starter sounds normal again.
