    Those Ross mounts for the bell crank are welded on from the factory. A little excessive if you ask me, welded and riveted, I took on off once, took forever.

    Cutoff wheel to cut through the welds and cut the heads off the rivets. Air hammer to drive out what's left of the rivets. Still a pain but makes it much easier.

    Yep, those bell cranks are a beast to get off!

    Focker, can you please show me how your mirror is attached? I prefer the small round mirrors.

    Looking good!

    Don't laugh but it's a mirror from a Yamaha scooter. I drilled and tapped the door channel. You can just notice it here in this post (first picture).

    I love being a neat freak. When I finish a project...The garage is back in order too. I put my tools away as I finish, by the time I'm down to the final step there's only a tool or 2 to put away. :)
