After a lot of advice from this board and others I've decided that the endplay on the output flanges can be ignored for now. So..... Let's get this baby back on the road!!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
Here is the B.F.N. tranny mated to the motor. Yep, that's it. Hook two big fat wires to this thing and it goes! No F'n' ignition, valves, carbs, oil, cams, exhaust, etc..... Attached image(s) |

Well, thanks again for all the suggestions. I'm sure you guys are tired of hearing me say it but, THIS SITE ROCKS! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
End result of me laying on my back under this thing for 20 minutes: I'm going to pull the two interfering battery racks and raise them. It's way more work but it's the right answer. All the contraptions I could imagine to drop the tranny mounts ended up sounding like something that would get me put in the DAPO bin. Mark, yeah at one point I said F' it. I'm going to just try a bunch of washers. It worked for about 1 cm but that wasn't enough. The bolts were all cockeyed after much more than that and I didn't feel good about it. You know how it is when you do these things: When you finally decide to do it right rather than all the crazy short cuts, it just feels "right". I'm sure we've all been there. As soon as I started to raise the battery racks I knew I was doing the right thing. Keep the tranny mounted the way it is supposed to be mounted. Thanks again. I'll post more pics when I get it done.
