so is it just tension on the throttle cable that keeps it all together??
the tube that goes throu the fan shroud, does it attach to the flexable tube?
also does the tube tht goes throu the fan shroud have the flare portion to the rear or pulley side of the motor? |

Just the tension keeps it together. On the rear side of the engine, (pulley side), the tube is flared and the front side of the engine, (bellhousing side) it is straight and goes up into the flare on the accelerator Boden tube.
I do put a hose clamp on mine like the picture below to keep everything taught.

been a while since i did and update. well here it goes
i have totally wired the buggy only thing missing is the alt to battery wire.
i did not buy an expensive harness as i was able to install the gm coloumn into my buggy so totally custom wired. everything turned out as planned.
may not be the best looking harness, and may not be the easiest to trouble shoot. but there is not much to it.
i did daytime running lights and electric fuel pump with low pressure shut off.
go the new mater cylinder install and brakes bled, after messing around with 50 year old brake fluid in the front brake lines. nrew are on order
i am going to install a gel cell u1 lawn mower battery under the rer shelf i think.
it is getting closer and closer.
took the body off the other day to finish the pan off. i am using a DIY roll on bed liner kit. gonna make it nice and thick in the front where it will get all the abuse
all for now i think

How will you remove the transmission with the two uprights from the frame horns to the cross member?
I am thinking the same idea, but had to pull my transmission and realized this is not possible with the uprights.

should be the last update on the engine cage. put some 3/4" LED lights which are dual element style. also there is a licence plate light on there too.
now onto the last of the body repairs before mounting it again
