Any tips for mounting a 70cc on a Schwinn Jaguar?

In addition to non factory studs, get some lock nuts and new lock washers. If you can afford it, use metric couplers as your nuts and you'll really be able to torque those US made studs.

I went to Lowes, Home Depot, Advanced Auto Parts, Pep Boys, Auto Zone and a few local Hardware stores and NO ONE HAS METRIC RODS OR SCREWS LONG ENOUGH TO CUT!!!

So I searched online for a while and found a site Fastener Mart I found a 1 meter rod for just under 7 bucks and I never clicked add to cart faster Amazon also has 1 meter rods but they are 20 bucks there.... boooo

Here is what I bought

MRD160-1452 M6-1.0 x 1 meter Threaded Rod DIN 975, A2 Stainless Steel, 1 pc 1 $6.76 $6.76
MNT169-9912 M6-1.0 Hex All Metal Prevailing Torque Lock Nut DIN 980V, Class 10, Zinc Plated, 100 pcs 1 $5.83 $5.83
MWS109-6992 M6 Split Lock Washer DIN 127, A2 Stainless Steel, 100 pcs 1 $3.06 $3.06
MWS109-6972 M6 Flat Washer DIN 125A, A2 Stainless Steel, 100 pcs 1 $2.63 $2.63
Sales Tax: $0.00
Shipping: 2nd Day Air: $14.91
Order Total: $33.19

Not a bad deal with 2 day shipping I will update when the items arrive.

I have found the rod's at Home Depot & Ace Hardware....the rod's at Home Depot is not where you think they would be, I can't remember where but do remember that I thought it was strange where they put them. I can go right now and walk right up to them.

Thier seem's to be alot of member's having trouble with this...Here in Tucson we have cal-fastner,State Industrial supply,airhardware Inc, and several other's that I can't think of thier names. But...they have every bolt,nut,stud,threads,washer's, that you can think of..

Their has got to be a place near where you live that has the same thing. Look in the phone book, Hardware, fastners, ect...

I live in Philadelphia PA and you would think a big city like this would have at least one place with metric rods. Oh well I just have to wait a few more days until they arrive. I cant wait to continue building the bike.

Oh and Home Depot did have the rods but they do not carry metric sizes only standard, around here anyway. Silly Home Depot.

Yes, I'm finding that out...Some Ace Hardware and Home Depot don't alway's have the same stuff?????? I don't get it

Me too! I just bought a Schwinn Jaguar (part of me could not resist telling my co-workers that I drove, "the Jag" into the office). I cannot wait to get it hopping with a nice little 2-stroke. Keep us posted on your progress. Photos!

Just got my parts in!! Now I have to go to the dentist but after that it is BUILD TIME!@!!@!

Well I went to the dentist and I have to get a root canal but who cares its bike building time!!!

I found this pdf file that is helping out a great deal check it out here http://www.livefastmotors.com/pdf/two_cycle.pdf

I used the all thread rod I bought (look at my earlier post to see what I bought and what I paid) and cut two front engine mounts out of it. I cut them at 2 and a quarter inches and it worked PERFECTLY!! I used a dremel rotary tool and it worked no prob.

I just got done mounting the sprocket to the wheel and am about to remount the back wheel.

Note: when taking off the rear wheel, take all the air out to avoid wanting to destroy the rear brakes

Wheel is on chain is on but its way to big so I have to go buy a chain tool (local bike shop) so I can make the chain shorter. So I will be back with more info

I just use the bench grinder and a punch and hammer and knock it out....I know I took some pic's to do a thread about it but I have no Ideal what I did with the pic's. It's in my PC somewhere.
