Deuce lover... thanks for your input !

I am very interested to work out this mystery now... the mystery of the method of operating the starter on a RHD car.

All would be well in the case of a LHD V8.. like you say, the rod protruding through the floor and you step on it, it pushes the switch on the starter and there you go !!

now move the steering box, pedals etc to the RIGHT hand side, keep the starter where it is, on the LEFT and you have a mystery ... how did they do it ??

Use the pull cable system or still use a foot press.... if its foot press, was the rod and press knob still on the LEFT hand side of the car or did they move it close to the driver.. if so, how ? .... very interesting
