Wanted : Starting Handle Support For Pre-52 11BL

[David HorsleyParticipant]

Has anyone got one they don’t want, please ?

Failing that, please could someone send me  some pics of one and the dimensions and I’ll have a go at fabricating one.

My email is  delythrh@btinternet.com

Thanks.

David,

I presume you mean the small bracket which bolts to the bumper behind the numberplate.

I think we may have several in the secondhand stock and suggest you contact Ian Harvey – secretary@traction-owners.co.uk

However, I know we also have at least one of the aftermarket version, comprising a support tube which screws into a special gearbox bearing cap. This offers a much more rigid support and eliminates damage to the bumper and grille.

It will require a different handle with a larger diameter shaft to suit the tube and I am sure there is one of those in stock as well.

B….

Thanks, Bernie, will do.

The car I’ve just bought in Finisterre had an 11,000 EUR restoration done on it between 2008-10 but the guy ran out of money and, therefore, some inessential stuff was left undone. He sold it to the person who I bought it from who developed neuropathy in his lower arms and hands and consequently hardly used the car (he can’t manage anything without power steering now) and did little to finish things off. So, when I do a proper audit on the car, I may need a few other bits of the kind  that the Continental parts dealers don’t usually sell.
