That brings back memories of the second RN saloon we got, the starter didn't work because the cable wouldn't reach the massive battery behind the seat but it started on the handle easily. I eventually bought a battery which would fit the battery box connected up the starter and tried the starter which fairly threw the engine over but it didn't start. I swung it and it started easily and tried the starter again it worked well but though the now open bonnet I saw the fan going the wrong way. I fitted a spare I had and some time later at John Platts I asked if they had an starter for an RN, no but we have a 4 speed starter which goes the wrong way. I bought it and swapped over the brush end plates giving me a 3 speed and 4 speed which both went the right way and sold the 4 speed starter.
