Man, what a day! My friend came over and we worked on installing the narrow double front end I got. But it didn't fit!! I thought the steering shaft had to be replaced too. So, off to the salvage yard 45 minutes away. But we figured out that the shafts were the same. If was the pedestal that was wrong!! It was from an M! It was just slightly different (bigger) So I was able to swap pedestals with one that looks worse and is yellow, but at least it fits. Back home we realized that the original bolts that fit on the single front end were too short for the new pedestal. So, off to Lowes for new bolts. So, got all that put on. Looks odd with the Harley Davidson tires, but oh well. Took the carb apart and put a little sealer in a few recommended spots, and made sure everything on the inside was snug. Tried to adjust the float, but didn't have a 1/32 or 1/64th ruler, so my friend just "eyeballed" it based on the OS-4 carb he redid. Hopefully it works out. Built the new fuel line and routed it. Fixed up the sediment bowl and installed it. Worked on installing the battery box, which is a cheap Chinese knock-off I bet, so needs some modifications to work. :roll: Still working on that. Routing the choke rod to clear all this new stuff.
Next is the wiring. We are relocating the grounding wire back to what we believe is the original position it should be. Next I have to look up some pictures and figure out how to route the battery cable to the new starter button, and then... ? To the starter I think? Don't know. Wiring is the next major step, then it should be ready for firing.
I'll post some pictures after I'm done tonight.

DCW said: There is a considerable size difference between H and M pedestals.One of those mounting bolts that hold it on there has a special head on it.It runs in a track cast in the underside of the bolster,and acts like an axle stop.

Watch when you cut your wheel,it might go round and round,or until the steering box goes out of time if it has a half round sector gear.

For your safety,I'd check this out and put the proper bolt in there.


Yup, saw that. What I did was got a 3.5 inch bolt, instead of just 3 inch, and added a a 3/4 nut that it sits on. We already tested it, and it works great. Plus we took the opportunity and tightened up the steering. So with those motorcycle dunlap tires on it, I'll be ready to race it once it's running! :lol:
Thanks for looking out DCW! 8)
