I have a few crank handles but they are for Hillman. Our club has probably
lots in the parts shed.

Australia too far away?

Tony, you wrote:

This brings up an interesting question. I have two crank handles. One is
longer with a fixed handle. The other is noticeably shorter and the handle
spins as you crank. I was told by an ex-Rootes dealer that the shorter one
with
the spinning handle is appropriate for the Alpine, and the longer
non-spinner is
for Hillmans.
Any other opinions out there?

Starter handles were available for all Alpines.
