What ever gears you run use Button head cap screws to hold it to the cam. There is not enough clearence between the CB dry sump pump and gear to run hex heads.

95% there. I need to do brakes, clutch, throttle cable, gas lines, and finish wiring. Everything else is done. I made a nice little custom mount for my oil guage it came out really nice. The one from Jeg's was alum so I had to build a complete new mount from scratch. Its really almost wired I just need to connect it all and put the wire in loom. Tonight tonight :mrgreen:

Kyle you and Willy and Pipedope all should think about what just happend to Bill . Ya'lls roofs are braced about the same as bills wich is to say not much bracing at all. Cab collapse is not a thing you want

It finally made it home to my new garage so I got some pictures of it. I just started the wood burner last night so its a tad smokey haha. I stole the foot rest idea from Gizmo :)

There are no hard lines for brakes or clutch on the buggy. They are steel braided teflon coated lines. I got to ride it for about 10 minutes and its been done for over a month now been working on this house I am ready to ride!!

I set them to around 32-33 degrees. Its not really that stiff but the new bars actually work unlike the old one just basically no twist left in them lol. When I got down to the garage the skid plate was pretty much sitting on the ground hahaha. Thanks for the bars mudd :)

Chris if I really knew I would tell you but I bought the trans already built with Weddles and lowered. Before in the cobra it would climb in second but loose power so I pretty much built the buggy around the trans I had, lighter single seater, more motor, now second pulls like 1st.
