I'm looking for photos of the original choke levers starter linkage and lever and kill switch for the 1939 WC I can't find any good pictures
 
It may not have had a kill switch. Normal shutoff was the metal grounding strip on the side of the magneto, although on our "39, Dad put in a round bakelite house switch at the steering column to act as a kill switch. The choke rod was a quarter-inch diameter rod that was routed alongside the left side of the castings, and came out, in a long narrow loop, in a slot in the foot rest by the clutch pedal. Starter rod was similar to the Model C, with the loop you pushed your foot against, and was near the left foot rest.
 
I was thinking of making the kill switch rod look like the original but cut the 12v to the coil instead of grounding the magneto that's not there. So no lever for the choke just the loop. And they added a lug to the starter some how and added a solenoid that I want back to original
 
I know this was added in later years I want to work on bringing it back to original.

There had to be a kill switch linkage originally that's why I need pictures
 
He is correct the WC did have a kill rod connected to a spring loaded switch on the left side of the magneto.

I can't tell you anymore what the rod looked like. I'm pretty sure it was 3/16 rod.

I googled it but only found a photo of the magneto end of the rod.
 
Depends on your choke linkage in 39 it could have had the unstyled kind that ran to the foot plate or it could have had the one that ran under the gas tank and up to the seat. I have an original magneto kill rod on mine I'll try to take some pics of it. Its nothing fancy just is a rod with a 90 on each end going the same way.
