Racinbob 10,267 #152 Posted March 9, 2016 Thanks guys. Yes Richie, I'm proud of it. It's not to the level of what many of the guys do here but I did my best and I'm happy. Thanks to your great welding the hood came out better than I ever thought it would. Aldon, I'm looking forward to meeting you at the big show with your K341 in my truck. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've go you beat on the slow road,,,,,, Actually Jim, there isn't one on the steering shaft. What you're seeing is the kill button that was on the shroud of the K-91. I enlarged the hole that was there and relocated it. As far as the gas tank neck I made it. The original was mangled in the typical fashion so I removed it and soldered in a better but not perfect neck. Then I was able to remove a neck from a new tank I had and soldered it to the first neck. The tank mounting straps were much thicker that the originals which dropped the tank down. Originally the hood didn't have a grommet around the filler. It was mangled pretty bad so I enlarged it and installed that grommet that I got from @Lane Ranger I believe those were used on some Lawn Rangers. Proving that even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then the height of the stacked filler necks turned out perfect. If you have the thinner straps I don't think you'd want it as tall. Definitely do start a thread on your restoration. I'd love to follow along and we can see who wins the slow race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
