Re: Converting stomp starter to push button
You don't need a rod, you just need the cap off the stomp starter pedal fastened to a piece of tubing that slips over the tractor switch. The switch sticks up about an inch and a half above the floor. Just about the same as the rod from the lever stuck though the floor.
The issue is the space between the toe board and the bellhousing/back of the engine at that spot. Most engine swaps end up with very tight clearances in that area.
The end of the rod has 5/16 Sae threads and a 5/16 sae X 1/2 inch cap screw welded to a cap made of mild steel tubing that was also drilled and tapped for a set screw per the drawing would keep it on top of the switch.
