Thx RobertC it's nice to know that I'm going about this the right way, I started to get worried would I loose value in the project for stripping g the original paint and reworking it to my evil paint plans...

I spoke with Ron today, to order a couple things for my new (to me) super bronc. and he has all sorts of parts for super broncs from the same mfg's that used to supply Heald. His website is
Power Tec Replacement Parts | Kimball Hauler | Heald Hauler | Chi Products | Haulmaster Hauler | Pug | Super Bronc | Trail Bronc | Heald Hauler Parts | Super Bronc Parts | Super Tryke Parts | Haulmaster Hauler Parts . (I was interested in finding original style parts for my super bronc, otherwise, I'd definately have used Hent and Vicki at our favorite minibike parts store, the oldminibikes.com store).
Ron also has a
schematic available for the vt-8 that show's where every piece should go for only $6.
Not only was Ron very knowledgeable, he is also a nice guy and seemed more than happy to answer my questions....did you know those 8 hp tecumseh motors all came equiped with an alternator, so if you don't have a headlight now, you can add one (and he has access to those also).
Hey 1Eye, I was going to put this in one of your strings, and probably still will, but you and Prob both give Ron a call, you'll be glad you did.
And JBrewton, thanks for putting this in the thread in the first place ! you three folks are all from around the same state (I think I read that rigt)....anywhere near each other ? (I know CO is a big state, but you never know).

Keep up the good work 1Eye.
