Here are a few more photos. The first shows the rear mount which I finished making up this morning. It is much like the front mount shown in the second photo, but modified so the engine can sit a little lower. Under each mount is a split collar. At the center of each mount is steel bushing which will be welded to one half of the split collar. Because the bushing can rotate it will conform to the angle of the frame and can be adjusted by loosening the split collar.
The third photos shows the pedal arms in black. They blend into the frame a little better I think.
As I wait for the second set of split collars for mounting the jackshaft to the front down tube I'll work on other things for this build. One is adapting the cable for the three speed hub to fit an old 1960's twist grip three speed shifter which looks like a throttle. I think it will be less conspicuous as a bike with gears with that type shifter. I also have to go over the front fender with some bondo and then fresh paint. And lots of other small, time consuming things... but each day and each task completed brings me closer to starting up the engine and putt putting off into the sunset. What fun!
