I think I am right in saying that the required starting handle for F-type is at least 18" from the dog to the crank in the handle. The S&V one is for the M,D and J which are only approx. 12" ...
does anyone know of any or have one spare for me to buy please?
Are they the same as the TA,TB and TC's do you reckon?

Hi Chris,
My Magna starting handle is 21" from dog to crank and made of 3/4" dia steel rod. I don't know if it an original F Type handle or not but it keeps your hand well clear of the chassis cross tube. Looking at Barry Walker's catalog he lists three starting handles for (M,D,J)(F1/F2)and (L,K,P,N)under "miscellaneous items". Mine looks like the latter, sorry can't help with a spare though.
Cheers,
Mike

cheers Mike, at least that has confirmed my suspicions that the F-type had to be longer than the M,D and J otherwise busted knuckles was always going to be on the cards.

Hmmm
Not sure about that. Why is the F Type one longer? I presume the handle rotates inside the chassis and not in front of the front crosstube as it does with the P, L etc...
As they say: discuss...

The M has a removable front apron for using the handle. If the F has a fixed apron then it will need a longer handle.
There is loads of room for the M starting handle even when a front tube is fitted. |
