Questions & Answers
I know the original civilian starting cranks were stored in the tool bin, but that only worked for the two piece starting cranks. Pretty much all the repo starting cranks are single piece and too large to store in the tool bin. Where then are they supposed to be stored? I have seen a mounting tab for them but no one ever talks about where to store these repo starting cranks. I could have sworn I saw someplace that at one point they might have been stored under the hood? Or maybe that was for a shovel. Any recommendations on where to store these or how to convert them to two piece cranks would be very much appreciated as I would actually like to have it available as a backup.
