My father owned a 1978 Westy and had cut a hole in the sheet metal
beneath the rear bench, for easy interior access to the starter, so he
could smack it with a prybar and hammer every time it didn't want to
fire.  Worked every time.

A lady from Minnesota called with a starter problem.  The brothers
advised that she keep her existing bat in the car to whack the starter
when needed although she had bought a replacement starter.  Sounds
like she has the situation under control.
