Hi. Barry

On my RK I fitted a small swivelling arm to the radiator bolt under the cowl. It can be turned forward to support the handle and pushed back for starting.  A bit like the leather strap you see on many vintage cars.

On the Brookfields special I had an old starter dog which I drilled through and fitted back to front in the nose cone.  It is supported by three 1/4” bolts drilled and tapped through the casing. I then filled the gaps with liquid metal.  Remembering to drill a small oil return hole.

Cheers

Howard
