The obvious question would be "Why?" This sounds like a solution to a nonexistent problem. 6 volt stomp starters have been operating happily on 12 volts for decades- - - -just connect a 12V battery and do the other modifications necessary for the conversion such as installing a correct coil, light bulbs, and charging system components.

How do you propose to engage the drive gear without the pedal linkage connected, and if you intend to use the pedal again, what earthly reason is there to ruin a perfectly good starter with that Rube Goldberg concoction? Stomp starter contactors switches are available everywhere- - - -and there's even one that has an ignition resistor bypass terminal for use with a 12 volt ignition system.

Bad idea!

Edit: If you absolutely have to have a solenoid-engaged starter for some reason, just install a 1950-54 passenger car starter that uses a key-turn switch instead of a stomp pedal, and install a key-start ignition switch. Then you won't have to do the 12V conversion.
