After finishing the drive train, I moved on to the rear wheel well area, followed by the steering column and dash support framework.The cowl will be removable for easy access. Next I will be moving forward with the peddle assembly. But I need to make a modification to the throttle body linkage first.
Now that the motor and tranny are secure, Swing arm mounted, it was time to connect things up. So I mounted the Nova Racing reverse gearbox, and fitted the driveshafts. One drive shaft needed a new tube, to achieve the proper length. The frame needed some redesigning for proper clearance before mounting the pillow block bearing.
Got the swing arm mounted this evening. Had to determine the true center lines first. Removed the swing arm cradle from the frame, removed all excess material, and welded it to my swing arm support frames. Then finished welding remaining tubing before mounting. Next I will be working on the drive shafts connecting the motor/tranny to the reverse gearbox to the swing arm.
Today I made some mounts up for mounting the motor and transmission. Find the exact correct location took longer than expected. Next I will mount the rear swing arm.
I broke down today, I purchased a new shop crane. Not something I was initially in the market for, but fully appreciated. I feel good just to get the motor and tranny into it's approximate area. Now it is time to set the correct hight and location, before fabricating the new mounts.
