[Spridgets] Prop Rod location?

[Peter Caldwell]

The hood/bonnet on my newly acquired 63 Midget has the prop rod on 
the LEFT side of the car.  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.  Is that why?

So, perhaps a poll?  On early square body (sorry Jay) cars with the 
prop rod, is yours on the left or right?  (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.  I'm sure that's why they moved it.

  So, let's hear the refrain  "According to Horler..........."

Thanks for your time.
