Was thinking that if there was some kind of 2 part epoxy that was runny enough to squirt into the holes (with a syringe) it would improve th...

Re: Starter Switch Location

Thanks for the comments, I was starting with the assumption that the location of the seat relative to the frame might be different for some years and body styles so a measurement from the heel board to the switch might give me Henry's opinion on where the switch is best functional and not in the way...

I marked on the frame where the front most part of the fender was then removed the radiator and hood shelves. The fender would push back adequately b...
