Greg,
I did this mod to my BN7 during resto. Came up with the idea then heard that
Bill had done it earlier. Oh well . ........... great minds run in the same
gutter. That mod along with balancing the brake drums makes her silky smooth.
Strongly recommend both.
One note. You will need to grind out a small area in the angle iron maybe 1/2
x 3/4 long to clear the starter solenoid. Also two small notches on the
horizontal piece to clear the brackets for mounting the cross shaft for
throttle linkage.
Additionally I would suggest you add some welds to the firewall structure
around the tranny. If I recall the welds were every 3-4 inches across the top
and down the side. I would have them every inch or so.
