According to the parts book that plate should be underneath oh the RH side and is to hold the carb drains etc

cheers bryan will move it down to bottom of bolt,

hmmm one hole is much bigger than the other does it show how many drain tubes goes down each hole

If you are still reading this - thanks for postng the image. I'm restoring a 550F1 and couldn't remember how to fit the spring - even thought I'd power-coated the half-moon bracket - doh!

Mike I think all the carb drains go through the big hole, the small hole is for the battery overflow if I recall correctly

unfinished project

Mike for what it's worth, why don't you get the nuts and bolts re-zinced seeing you've a new coat on the frame, it's not expensive and it'll make it look much better?

I'm restoring a 500 and had plenty of stuff rezinced and it looks like new.

I just like seeing what's happening in the old dart. Seeing I came from there in chains.

Mike I'm not sure if your spring and C thing is black or painted, here's mine re-zinced, certainly get the nuts and bolts done.
