Improving on a design deficiency

[Howard Wright]

Slight thread drift but useful to have here perhaps. I'm going to use this later coil starting nut. Is there good advice for changing them over i.e. heat/no heat and where is best place to lock off the crank with engine out. Anything needed like locktight, or just clean and oil before screw in? thanks...

Hi Jon

I swapped to the later starter nut on the special (1929).  I can’t remember doing anything unusual.  I think I held the crank with a length of dowel wedged into the case. I didn’t use Loctite although I guess I could have.

Cheers
