Yes Ian and Dave that is the one. Interesting it is for a 1953 onwards though. My car is a late 1952 it seems so this must have been fitted as a replacement at some time.

I was talking to James Geddes on Thursday (he is working on a Familiale for a customer) and that car is still on 6 volt and he said that having a remote solenoid in the engine bay with a dashboard push button was problematic. The car he is working on has a solenoid with an integral push button mounted below the dash as apparently that’s the only way it will work on 6 volt systems.

Works fine though on 12v systems so maybe it’s worth doing the conversion whilst you have the car in bits…..

I am in the middle of rewiring and upgrading to 12 volt. I want a 12v starter but since I am going to be doing the ID19 engine and box change next winter I was hoping to leave that until then. So I may well go with the external solenoid option unless Ian comes up with a part lol.
