 The push button solenoids where standard original equipment on most Brit
 cars up to 1967.
 Bugeyes and MKIIs had the pull cable solenoid, MKIIIs and early MKIVs
 had the push button. As did Minis, A40s, Sunbeams, TRs, MGs.
 1968 brings on new federal specs, I guess that was a hazard so the
 button was eliminated around this time.
 If all else fails, a standard Ford solenoid works. >>

Or for $15 you can buy a remote starter switch at Pep Boys that clips onto 
the solenoid.
