Got the motor mount tacked on and motor mounted to check clearances. Fabbing up the slide adjuster for underneath now. Pressing on.

Well this is fun. Got the mounts fabbed up but foot gave out so will weld it later. Goint to get new springs for the rear. I figure Part # UNA-176 230 pound leaf with radial slippers will be a better choice and closer to the originals.

Motor Mount And Start Of Rear Swing Arms

Fabbed up the start of a motor mount, with still a lot to do to it. Very early fab of rear swing arms. Might be a few days not working on it due to injured foot, or maybe an old injury that finally let go. X rays will tell Monday. Anyway life goes on. LOL

Lazy day today. Didn't do much, but looks like a jack shaft is the answer.

Rear Springs

Not much done as the dog decided it hadn't been to the vet in a while and thought a great idea to change that. Anyway.....Just some mock-up or the start thereof for the rear spring and swingarms. Still pondering whether to go with a jack-shaft or just make the swing-arm pivot point line up with the TAV output shaft. Oh bother!
