I too would be interested if there is a reasonably simple fix for this. My starting handle remains at 9 o'clock when the car is stationary, but quickly escapes it's moorings when driven. As a temporary fix, I have secured it to the offside front flasher lamp with a redundant small dog collar bought for the Motoring Dog when he was a puppy and which he (most inconsiderately) quickly outgrew.
I haven't had the nose off an engine for some considerable time, but I seem to recall that there were two dog teeth cast into the inner end of the casing to support the pin on the end of the starting handle shaft in the correct position but they wear away over the years.
