The starter solenoid is fastened back onto the side of the bell housing.




As you can see, the top of the bell housing is open so I had earlier made up a cover to go on it.
The ignition ballast resistor attaches to one of the bolts that hold the cover on the bell housing.




I decided to make a cover to go over the resistor and starter relay.
Using a piece of sheet metal, I bent one side at 90 degrees.
Then I used the metal shrinker and formed the metal into a "U" shape and I cut out another piece of metal to fit inside it.




This is what it looks like with the two pieces welded together and trimmed to size.






The cover is painted and bolted onto the bell housing.




The exhaust, alternator and sheet metal are bolted on.




With a different carburetor and governor linkage, I have to re-design the throttle cable.
The cable had a bent end to fit in a hole on the throttle lever of the old carb.
I cut the bent end off so I had a straight cable.




The end of the throttle cable needs to be shaped so it will hold a spring.
This neat little tool is designed to form a loop on the end of the cable.
The cable is held tight by gripping the handles.
Then and by turning the "T" handle, it will twist the cable around a shaft that the handle rides on.




Here is the finished loop still on the forming shaft.




Remove the cable from the tool and you have an evenly formed end with out any kinks in it.




I made up a special bracket that will bolt onto the intake manifold and hold the throttle cable housing.




The throttle cable is mounted in place and a spring is fastened from the cable to the governor linkage.
The choke cable is brought around and hooked up to the carb.

Back outside under it's own power again.
I still need to re-fit the aircleaner to this carb and then mounting the FEL and running the hydraulics is next.
