Starter placement… an example of engineering arrogance at it’s best… Zis Vill NOT Break, Zo You Vil Not Neet to Remove Zis!

I haven't done a starter on my 123, but if you *Really* want to have fun, try it on a 107! I found that the best solution was to string together a whole bunch of extensions (several feet long) and feed them up alongside the transmission through tunnel area.

A word of caution -- the upper hex bolt may be very tight and you certainly don't want to strip the head! Make sure to get a good quality hex socket, and use some spray carburetor cleaner to clean out the head of the hex bolt thoroughly. This way you'll get the socket all the way into it for a good bite.
