I seen this too on that web site. disc rotor 6.9 OD for a peerless bolt pattern.
Okay, for
Today's exploration... Bare with my guys, I'm getting up to speed here on what I need and the correct terminology for each, I know I'm the FNG, but someone has to be!
Drive Hubs : So, the Biggest issue will be the correct size for *Peerless* style drive flanges for the rear chain wheel and brake disc hubs. I've taken pictures of how much room I have with the front wheel positioned as a rear wheel below. I am guessing I'll have to speak to one of the suppliers. See pictures below please.
Seat Dimensons: Next, How long is the seat?, how wide is the seat at the front and back, and what is the distance from the front to the shock mount? I have some good high layer count 3/4" cabinet making plywood I can make a sturdy seat base with. Is there any band iron reinforcement under the seat base tying the front to the shock mount strap? See Nasty Broncs picture below that I scribbled on.
Seat Shocks: How long should they be? I found some on the web that look about right, but I have no idea if they are correct, you all do!
Carburation: I found an adjustable Tecumseh carb # from a YouTube video by a guy that does small engine work. I Googled the # and found a factory Tecumseh carb for about $80 and many knock offs for $15 or less, I think we'll try the
less first!
Torque Converters: Looking at what's available and quality I'm going to go with a Comet, the only thing is, with left side drive do you drive directly from the torque converter as supplied from the rear sprocket on the TC to the rear chainwheel? Does there need to be any support at the rear of the TC? or is the TC plate enough for the loads? See pic below of the Red Bronc from OldMiniBikes archives. I believe that the drive goes from the TC to the rear chainwheel without any other support to the motor plate. Correct me please if I am wrong.
