Would anyone have a good running coil engine to suit a forward facing starter? ( 1929 / 1932 approx. )
No ancillaries required.
Collection, no problem from anywhere in the UK.
Thanks.
Chris Garner.

1929-1932? Do you mean the one with the starter by the passengers feet?

I always think of forward as being the front of the car- the starter in the cab is rear facing.  Or is it just me ?

Just you, Tony! It may have something to do with your location.

Some here may remember the now sadly closed Players' Theatre in London. Styled as an Old Time Music Hall, the Master of Ceremonies would ask if there were any foreign visitors in the audience. Invariably some Antipodeans were, to which the rest of the Hall would roar..." How does it feel to be the right way up ? " !!

I'm with Tony on this!

The starter MOTOR in the cab faces rearwards surely, irrespective of the internal workings?

Hi Tony

If it’s any consolation I have to think twice and generally refer to them as ‘Forward facing in cab’, just to make sure.

They are forward facing as the starter pinion fires towards the front of the car!

Cheers

Howard
