Steve:
Re the shocks being mounted on the braking plate, Bill Fink was mounting
them there fifteen years ago, I don;t remember the set up but really liked
the idea because he had all the new lever type shocks he took off in a big
barrel and sold them dirt cheap.
On the topic of the fenders, I heard that the factory use to take all the
panels that wouldn't fit with out lots of work and send them over to the
Spares Department. knew one guy who ordered a body quarter panel and had to
take a 2 inch dart out of the center to make it fit .
