[Spridgets] re Prop rod location

[EASTJONES alan]

In the UK we usually term the car  sides as nearside and offside , near
side being  nearest the kerb  or in  the UK the left side of the car
looking forward from the drivers seat

also Nr one cylinder is the one nearest the radiator ( opposite end from
the gearbox ) ie front of spridget
so on an original mini  A series engine  nr one cylinder was on the
nearside but to those of you who drive on the wrong side of the road  your
near side would be our offside I guess !
