I have a 1942 3/4 ton (BL) with a 1962 235 attached to the OE bell housing. I want to go to a cable operated throttle as the old linkage is shot and has been a source of issues for several years. The foot starter assembly will be in the path of the new pedal and cable. I have converted the truck to 12 volt years ago.

My question is, will the later model solenoid operated starter (47-53) follow the same 2 bolt pattern as the 42 foot starter? Going to a solenoid starter would sure solve some problems for me. Any advice or experience is welcome.
