There's a good chance it hasn't been converted to negative earth then. Try connecting the solenoid to the negative terminal of the battery and earth to the positive.

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.

I don't know what you mean. There's just two battery cables; one goes to the solenoid and the other is earthed to the battery tray, as you can see in the photo I posted. The other side of the solenoid supplies the starter motor.

I was told by morris minor birmingham that,If the negative earth goes to the body,it means its negative earthed.I might be wrong but.......
