They fit good. There was some rust issues under every piece I cut off, but no big deal. I think you told me the guy you got them from had them outside at one time. The pan will be blasted anyway. Thanks for hooking me up with them though :goodjob:

We have a four day shutdown coming up at work starting wednesday evening so, no progress will be made till after start-up. :(

Plus, I have some orders to fill for some clients. (thats more $$$ for my project, and I don't mind that) :D

Well, since I couldn't go to eurofest because of some work that came in unexpectedly :mad: I did make some time today to make a new monting plate for the 915 shifter, and TIG weld it in...

Lovely welding, but I hope you are putting some strength in elsewhere as those framehorns have been severely weakened...

I have thought of that Ricola...ran out of time to do that part (quit rushing me! :) )

The steel I used to "fill in" the part I cut out is 1/4" thick and is fully welded, but will add some material under the frame horns just in case.

I didn't realize the CVs on the 915 conversion were that much of a clearance issue?
Pretty easy to beef that area back up though. Work is looking awesome!
