The AMT Nitro Charger had a Jim Davis starter in it.  Try using a diesel truck starter and adding a handle.

The nitro charger definitly has one I checked the one I have today and it's in there! Pretty cool little accessory I didn't know about till I read this thread!

Too easy, IMHO, to scratch one out with plastic rods, a handle, some wiring and hex head bolt detail.

That would be better than a standard basic, not to mention rare, kit piece.

I'm going to guess that it doesn't have the end detail where the starter mates up to the pulley.

In the pic, it just looks like a pin? Let me know if I'm wrong Vince.

I found a pic for you of the instruction sheet. It's at the top left.

This is just the first pic I found of one. As you can see, the "Business End" would need some work. Not sure how much detail you might want to put in it.

Your right joe it's pretty basic and not much detail on the ends but it's better than none! I saw the kit setting on my shelf this morning and just had to get it down and look that's a pretty decent kit too!
