I have a starter on my Smiths compresser that was converted for "key" start by removing the original starter switch and soldering a short wire to the starter contact that has an eyelet terminal to a later solenoid -the solenoid was then screwed to the starter, the original battery wire would fit-the nice kind with a little button to operate it without power to make working under the hood easy ---or the threaded stud for a V8 starter could be installed
