Thanks all for the tips on turning the starter, it was a 2 minute job and seems well sited now.
Lots of little jobs this week,
Rotating the starter
Getting the rear wheel attachment milled, drilled and welded to its sub-frame, sorting out the chain tensioner / wheel aligning mounts.
Getting the brake retaining pin in the right spot and welded up
Making a set of spring clamps and adding a bit to the front end to make the springs sit parallel (more grinding and drilling still need fixing)
Taking a diversion when the guts of a door closer drew my eye towards it's rack and pinion, spring and potential Pitman arm.
Ordering the plywood (no bleeding birch ply to be had from any of my suppliers, had to go far eastern

)
doing some scaling for the body and being pleasantly surprised as to how well it scales, even with 27" seat back to scuttle top.
Grinding away a tiny bit of TAV for clearance around my chain tensioner roller (necessary on the slack side of the chain to avoid a clash with the TAV, looks like it will work)
All in all not much visual progress but a fair few jobs done. Got to garden and relax today. :-)
