Interesting that the starter has come back. It's on the original Stevenson pages. They used marine quality pulleys.

Looking good so far Jim. I tried a recoil start inside the wasp but got fed up with bashing hands elbows on steering wheel & everything else. Didn’t think to put it outboard,😀 Probably steel that idea for the Monoposto.

I need some help selecting some cosmetic parts. As I had made a new bonnet for the Morgan (now sold) before I scrapped the old one I had extracted the (very difficult to find) centre hinge, that went onto the new one,  but I also cut out both sets of louvres. I can make my own, but for nostalgia I am wondering about using the bits I cut. Attached photo of the real car, and also the 2 different ones from the Morgan. My question, make a new set, use the larger angled set, or the smaller vertical ones? To be clear the one in original Morgan paint would be mounted "landscape".

Looking forward to seeing the pull start working.   I have mused about a design for a kick start in the past but the geometry has never quite come together.

Following you vids Jim, looking good! I'll be interested to see how well the pull start works, I had a little go on my kart with it running down some curved copper pipe but there was too much binding and leverage at the bend and didn't work so I gave up on it.
