I don't think he's around any more Bryan.
I'll see if I can get Glenn to modify it. What should it say?

It should say you need the VERY early 750 drive plate or you need to modify the original so it drives off the two flats on the hub not the ears under the chrome plate mate. I did put up pictures on the how to i wrote.

Do you have a link to your thread mucker, just doing my research at the minute to see what it's going to take to get a decent bike together. The oil tank is in a bad place and need to make one. Have you ever modified a fuel tank without blowing yourself up, I don't think the standard tank is the right shape.
Tomb:
I've welded tanks many times, I usually wash them out with paraffin to remove the petrol, then swill them out with soapy water, never had so much as a puff.
I remove dents by cutting 2"-ish holes in the bottom in the tunnel, knocking the dents out using a radiused end piece of wood and hammer, they can be de-dented to nearly original needing the tiniest smear of filler before paint. The 2" hole can have a patch welded on under where no-one sees it.
