The end of the crankshaft has a fitting to accept a handcrank. I have seen handcranks for sale, so I know they were available. What I can't figure out is how the handcrank can work when the bottom of the radiator sits most stubbornly between the grill opening and the end of the crank. Are these fittings leftover from an earlier model on which the radiatior was mounted higher? Is the handcrank meant to be used only in the shop when the radiator is removed?
Not that I would wish to handcrank a 216, but why the sort of half-option?
