ineedanother 2,525 #26427 Posted 23 hours ago Not wanting to do too much to this c-161 that is mostly original, I'm making an exception for solid shaker mounts. That last one seems to always be a challenge but I loosened one of the mounting blocks and was able to start that last bolt. This shored up the primary ground wire while I was at it so that's a plus. 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do realize you want to keep originality. Adding wires to create a full ground loop from engine block to frame to steering tower will save many future headaches. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineedanother 2,525 #26429 Posted 2 hours ago This is a lot of work without a machine shop but I really needed to get these made before I install the ARK on the 161 (the old one on the bench is from the junk pile!). 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those will stay with you, I have one set that I built in 1989 and they are still tight, don't see any ware. Edited 54 minutes ago by Lee1977 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
