My 66 mark 3 sprite is on the left side when standing in front facing the front
of the car. I use my left hand (the sinister one) to operate and place the prop
rod.

Subject: [Spridgets] Prop Rod location?
The hood/bonnet on my newly acquired 63 Midget has the prop rod on
the LEFT side of the car.B To the best of my recollection, all of my
previous cars had it on the Right side.
To make the switch would require a different fender/wing and a
different hood/bonnet as both have the attaching pieces welded on.
There IS a part number change for the hood/bonnet early on.B Is that why?
So, perhaps a poll?B On early square body (sorry Jay) cars with the
prop rod, is yours on the left or right?B (sounds like a tailor's question)
It IS inconvenient to have it on the left, as when you open the
hood/bonnet, and swing the rod out, it invariably gets all caught up
in the throttle and choke cables.B I'm sure that's why they moved it.
B So, let's hear the refrainB "According to Horler..........."
Thanks for your time.
