Boot release Leaver
Discussion
Jeremy is correct Alan
The S1 boot release lever is the orange lever fitted under the steering column as per Sierra/ Escort bonnet release.
It should be easy enough for a man of your calibre to to rig up an alternative release, mounted somewhere unobtrusive on the back bulkhead, using something like a generic choke cable and knob.

The lever I used screws in place. The threaded part of the shaft is too short to reach though the fibreglass panel so bonded a rivnut into the panel and screwed the lever into it.

I hit lucky, cable I bought had a long enough thread.Do you still have the nut that came with the cable, could it be soldered/welded to a bit of metal and bonded onto the bulkhead

That's what mine has after the cable snapped several years ago. One thing I would say is don't mount it too low as it's a bugger to get at without cody contortions if you have short arms like me. Anyone over 6'-no problem.The S1 boot release lever is the orange lever fitted under the steering column as per Sierra/ Escort bonnet release.
