Hey ski, how is the link belt holding up for ya, I want do same thing for my 212 engine
The only problem I have had is stretch. Just keep removing links to get it right. It is still something I'm working on. Getting the best fit. Not to tight but not slipping either.

Anyone following this may want to go back and read post # 3 ................
After the frame was done I went back home and started thinking about mounts. using corrugated plastic i cut out some 12 inch circles and got some allthread to tie them together to make patterns for the mount plates and give me some idea of how the engine was going to set in there.

I wanted the whole thing,mount,engine and fake oll tank to come off the bike in one piece just like the old bikes.So the only mount welded is on the bottom bracket.every thing else is bolted. But it is very stong with 5 mount points

The outside plates slip over the bottom bracket plates and the oil tank mount slips over the base plate which is made from angle iron then tig welded to the side plates then it is bolted through the bottom bracket mount. If that makes sense

I also got to do some work on the oil tank/mount.The pump is only mocked up here to see how it looks before it gets a solid mount. Probably brazed on. I dont wont it rattling or getting kicked off.
That's all for today ill post some more on monday. After the fenders come out of the mold.

Something to think about on a future build and relatively in-expensive is a veterinaries syringe (10/20 ml's) for an oil plunger you can usually find them on eBay for about
$20.oo or less
