Nosecone & LWP on this beast
Ok, Im still figuring out what to do with this lower unit.
(Which was the initial concern when I made the decision to "commit" any time/effort/money on this motor.
So far all Ive done is the Reeds, filler blocks, carb kit, lower unit seal kit, impeller, vernatherm (tstat). Ive got the '73 135 heads & head gaskets but Im not messing with that for now. I spent $225 for a Chopper prop, and had it rehubbed and cleaned up, which I have to say, the man did a remarkable job.
My steering (rotary dual cable) should be here tomorrow, and I bought that L&S steering kit that Tomtall pointed me to on Ebay for $18. It has a tube, an arm, and a bracket. I should be able to cobble something up with all that.
In an ideal world, I'd send it off to someone to put on a nosecone & lwp, but I feel like I can do it myself. (I know someone locally who is very talented with TIG, MIG welding) Ive got the Bob's kit. I want to find out the most efficient way to make this work, with the minimal amount of surgery to the L/U and to the "Bobs".
I forgot to take a picture with the "Bobs" next to my gearcase. I will go out and do that now. Then Ive got questions...
