Motor

-Started to order the motor kit and it "SEEMS" they do not have the batteries so they want to give me a $94.99 reduction in price, so after looking at battery prices I told them to reduce the price by $149.99. So we will see what is going to happen, Maybe a "Briggs and Stratton? or Harbor Freight, PREDATOR13 HP (420cc) OHV Horizontal Shaft Gas Engine with electric start, EPA/CARB $399.00??? I will see soon, :wave4:EDIT: They took my offer, YEA! And I found some Thailand batteries 4-12 V 20aH (more distance) each from USA seller that are 3.01 inches high on one side, the frame is 3." high

Elect. Motor Kit

- -Guess what came in today? eBay - Have this feeling some of the wires will not be long enough, Main wire harness is 5' 6" TP from handlebar throttle pigtail to be 6'ish to motor location, so I will see...:gah:

 

[TomyJ]

-And I really thought this was JUST going to be plug and play, colored wires are wrong, discerption is wrong, How can they get away with this shit?

MockUp

------Mock Up, :gahEDIT: To high)

Locations much better

-_ [FONT=&quot]I like this battery placement better for both sides, BUT! The batteries are 1/4" short of fitting side to side, So I'll cut out 1/8" on both sides lower side. And the motor will set on a aluminum diamond plate belly pan with slots for chain adjustment, [/FONT]:clapping:BUT2 The master Cylinder needs to be moved forward of the bulkhead, :gah:

 

[TomyJ]

Batteries

--Batteries are 3.1 high, and YES they are laying on their sides. There's going to be 2-1/8" X 1.5" wide straps running along the bottom in the middle of each battery with a 1/8" thick spacer and under the center upper cross piece. Master cylinder next, and ordered longer hose. :clapping:

View attachment 99486Memorial Day Weekend, I spent many hours flying in the back seat of these T-33's...:clapping:

Back in 1968 My Captain friend (Pilot) I was in the back seat. We were in the Duluth Minn. area doing radar check on the defense NORAD radars. We look down about 10,000 ft and saw a pair of F-106's and decided to see if we could jump them out of the sun. All was going great until they spotted us. Damn those afterburners are pretty. Fun times also in the back seat. Nice view though when you are upside down in a dive.
