No Foot Starter Coversion
 

I'd appreciate some opinions on the NO Foot Starter conversion $149. Also just using a 6-volt solenoid instead. Thanks

Nothing real special or new about a No Foot Starter conversion. I have a old version someplace, I will post a picture if I find it. It just uses a regular 6v solenoid and a mounting bracket to mount to the starter. $149 is way to expensive, IMO.

Our ccpu had a push button start.......way ahead of it's time! Downside is the hole...

Oh, and a solenoid. 6 volt.

You could also look for an "up start" lever that mounts to the steering column. You pull up on the lever and the rod pushes down on the starter switch for you. Way easier than finding the starter switch button with your right foot.

I have a key start on my Pickup. Bought a kit from a guy near Ft.Worth, TX.

I liked the idea of the upstart lever and looked for one some time ago but couldn't find one. Need to look again I guess.

I'm 6'4" I had to move the seat back 2" in my Vicky. I could get about 1 year out of a starter switch. They were worn wobbly. At a local swap meet I found an old kit to add push button start to a 1937 Plymouth. This was the best $10 bucks I ever spent. It bolted right on, ran the wire to a button under the windshield pannel. That was 5 years ago.

LOL, until I moved the seat back in the Coupe, I used my cane. A little fiddly but the rubber tip stayed on the starter button nicely. I sketched out both a lever system for the steering column and a cable-operated push button for the dash...but simply moving the seat back 3" suddenly allowed my big foot to reach the button comfortably.

I didn't like the idea of having to multi-articulate my right ankle, so I installed a solenoid. This isn't so complex that it needs an expensive kit

Re: No Foot Starter Coversion
 

I got one of the kits at an estate sale $40. I think the 3 pole solenoid is a Ford tractor item.

Most 6 volt solenoids are 3 pole. 12 volt ones are 4 pole in order to bypass the ballast resistor to supply full 12 volts to the coil for starting.

Is that a picture of the ignition switch it had in it?
