dont forget to sh$$ can the stock valve covers if they have the bail that holds them on. buy the GOOD ones that have (2) studs per side, and loctite them on. reason............first branch/ rock you hit will knock off valve cover and the next thing you know........................$$$$$$$$$$$. since that used to be a SCORE class 5 car, should have dual HP-1 oil filters, dual fram fuel filters, dual voltage reg, dual everything! if not make it so. redundancy when your 100 miles away in BFE! zip ty spare belt to cage.
SAFETY WIRE EVERYTHING! you will come home each and everytime! being stuck or broke down w/out beer IS A SIN!
oh yeah........................DUAL THROTTLE CABLES. just run spare w/zip-tys right along stock tube. if not rig one up with copper tubing. if it breaks at foot pedal its right there, if it breaks at solex pict-28-32-34 whichever one you have, the carb end is right there. and of course you would have spare barrel nuts in a film canister. simple field fix!
AND................buy (2) new axles and CV'S. take electric 3m tape and wrap axles a few times to gain mil thickness. place coffee can lids on each CV, and duck tape fully greased CV'S. weld brackets on cage, attach with HOSE clamps(not zip-tys-OUCH) and have attached tool bags on QD's, so you may remove bag w/tools and pull out handy dandy big ass allen wrench to replace CV'S. that YOU WILL BREAK sooner than later!
if it doesnt have big ass WRIGHT ARMS on the front.................BUY them or you will be walking(ask me how i know!)
